Weather and climate are common phenomena in the Earth's atmosphere, and it occurs due to the combination of the Earth's motion and energy from the sun. The air in the atmosphere also reacts to form infinite varieties of weather.
Weather is a short-term atmospheric condition of a given place, such as day-to-day variation and sometimes hour-to-hour variations in the atmosphere.
Climate is a long-term atmospheric condition of a region, such as continuous weather and variations. Climate of a region is defined by the average weather and it also includes average variations and extreme variations.
