Is a "Chestnut" the same thing as a "Buckeye"?

Answer 1

They're related : A botanical footnote:

The buckeye tree (Aesculus glabra) is a relative of the chestnut and the horse-chestnut. The nut is the same rich, mellow warm-brown as a chestnut, but it is less readily edible, due to its high tannic acid content. The California Indians leached both acorns and buckeyes, but there were many other easily edible nuts in the Midwest and East, including hickory, walnut, butternut, and -- until the blight struck during the 20th century -- chestnut, so the Indians and the white folks who followed them into the area just left the buckeyes alone.

While chestnuts and horse-chestnuts are flat on one side and gently rounded on the other, with a flattened, round abcssion scar at the top and a pointed tip at the bottom, the smaller buckeyes are more uniformly spherical, albeit irregular in shape. In fact, at about an inch in diameter, they resemble nothing so much as diminutive human testicles. If you oil them, they will dry to a nice smooth finish, with none of the air-gaps between the shell and the kernel that you'll find in dried chestnuts.

Answer 2

Buckeye Chestnut

Answer 3

A Buckeye is also called a "horse chestnut". That's why some people confuse them with the regular chestnut.

I make a distinction between the two, but not everyone does. "Climate scientist" is a relatively new term that has a broader scope than climatologist. There are meteorologists, physicists, chemists, biologists, geologists, oceanographers and more that all study climate and climate change and how it relates to their specific disciplines that would be considered climate scientists. Climatology is usually concerned with the climate in region as it relates to the vegetation that occurs there. Climatology is often considered to be a sub-field of geography. Climate classification (e.g. the Köppen classification) is the purview of climatologists. Your typical climatologist would probably not have had advanced courses in fluid dynamics or stable isotopes, while many climate scientists wouldn't know an A climate from a B climate. EDIT: Yes, I would agree with that. That means that many climatologists should not be considered experts on climate change or the climate system as a whole.

nope, chestnuts grow on chestunt trees and can be found inside the spikey balls they grow in. Buckeyes fall alone, with no outer shell. Different tree. Buckeyes are lucky :) rub on their soft spots for luck
