Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, including temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind.
Climate is the average weather conditions in a region over a long period, typically 30 years or more.
A weather front is a boundary separating two different air masses, often leading to precipitation.
A climate zone is a region with distinct weather patterns over a long time, such as tropical or polar climates.
Meteorologists use tools like barometers, thermometers, anemometers, and satellites.
Factors include latitude, altitude, ocean currents, and proximity to water bodies.

Latitude affects climate by determining the angle of the sun’s rays and length of daylight, impacting temperature.

Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, including temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind.
Mountains act as barriers to wind and precipitation, creating rain shadows and influencing local climates.
Wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure; air moves from high to low pressure areas.
The greenhouse effect is the warming of Earth's surface due to trapping of heat by greenhouse gases.
Latitude affects climate by determining the angle of the sun’s rays and length of daylight, impacting temperature.
A weather front is a boundary separating two different air masses, often leading to precipitation.
Humans cause climate change through activities that increase greenhouse gases, like burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
A weather front is a boundary separating two different air masses, often leading to precipitation.
Wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure; air moves from high to low pressure areas.
Precipitation forms when moist air cools, causing water vapor to condense into droplets that fall as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
