The difference between weather and climate is that weather consists of the short-term (minutes to months) changes in the atmosphere. Most people think of weather in terms of temperature‚ humidity‚ precipitation‚ cloudiness‚ brightness‚ visibility‚ wind‚ and atmospheric pressure‚ as in high and low pressure. There are lots of factors that influence our climate Elevation or Altitude effect climate Normally‚ climatic conditions become colder as altitude increases. “Life zones” on a high mountain reflect

words a short answer that describes the differences between weather and climate. Weather and Climate both take the same measuring elements of the environment and atmosphere (Temperature‚ humidity‚ pressure‚ wind speeds‚ precipitation‚ etc.). According to Sturman & Tapper (2006)‚ weather is “the state of the atmosphere at a particular point in time within a defined areas.” This in turn is opposed to Sturman & Tapper’s (2006) take on climate which is “the synthesis of weather observed over a period of

Elements of weather and climate[edit] There are several elements that make up the weather and climate of a place. The major of these elements are five: temperature‚ pressure‚ wind‚ humidity and rain. Analysis of these elements can provide the basis for forecasting weather. These same elements make also the basis of climatology study‚ of course‚ within a different time scale rather than it does in meteorology. Modifying factors of weather and climate[edit] The more important are also five: latitude
