Weather Different from Climate:-

Sunlight falls at varying angles onto the Earth’s surface, heating up each of its regions differently. The difference in temperature eventually leads to different
types of weather.

A climate is when particular weather conditions prevail in a place for an extended period of time. So we can talk about the weather tomorrow or this month,
but when we talk of climate we are talking of much longer time periods – decades or even centuries.

There are factors that influence weather on the Earth:-

Temperature, rainfall, wind, cloud and atmospheric pressure are the main factors that influence weather patterns across the world. Wind is caused by the unequal heating of the Earth’s surface.

When the air above a certain region becomes warm and light, it rises and the heavier cool air sweeps across from another area to take its place. This movement of air is called wind. Atmospheric pressure also affects the movement of wind, which always flows from a region of high pressure to that of low pressure.

The difference in pressure between the two areas determines the speed with which the wind blows. If there is a small difference, we feel a breeze. If the difference is large, it leads to a storm.

If the wind is flowing over a large water body such as a sea, it can pick up moisture and carry clouds and rain with it.

Low pressure usually means stormy weather and rain, while high pressure usually means lots of sun and not much wind. There are other factors, such as the ocean currents created by the Earth’s rotation, which also influence weather.
