   Weather is the state of the atmosphere, describing for example the   
   degree to which it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or   
   cloudy.[1] Most weather phenomena occur in the lowest level of the   
   atmosphere, the troposphere,[2][3] just below the stratosphere. Weather   
   refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas   
   climate is the term for the averaging of atmospheric conditions over   
   longer periods of time.[4] When used without qualification, "weather" is   
   generally understood to mean the weather of Earth.   
      
   Weather is driven by air pressure, temperature and moisture differences   
   between one place and another. These differences can occur due to the   
   sun's angle at any particular spot, which varies with latitude.

   Climate is the statistics of weather over long periods of time.[1][2] It   
   is measured by assessing the patterns of variation in temperature,   
   humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric   
   particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over   
   long periods of time. Climate differs from weather, in that weather only   
   describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region.   
      
   A region's climate is generated by the climate system, which has five   
   components: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, and   
   biosphere.[3]   
      
   The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, and   
   altitude, as well as nearby water bodies and their currents. Climates   
   can be classified according to the average and the typical ranges of   
   different variables, most commonly temperature and precipitation. The   
   most commonly used classification scheme was the Köppen climate   
   classification.
