What is climate?

Question

tell me the defination

Answer 1

Climate is the weather in some location averaged over some long period of time. The prevailing psychological state.

Answer 2

WEATHER: Weather is an all-encompassing term used to describe all of the many and varied phenomena that can occur in the atmosphere of a planet. The term is normally taken to mean the activity of these phenomena over short periods of time, usually no more than a few days in length.

CLIMATE: The climate is commonly considered to be the weather averaged over a long period of time, typically 30 years. Somewhat more precisely, the concept of "climate" also includes the statistics of the weather — such as the degree of day-to-day or year-to-year variation expected.

Answer 3

By the way your "defination" is spelt incorrectly. It should be definition.
Climate does not describe the weather alone, it is as described in Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:
1 : a region of the earth having specified climatic conditions
2 a : the average course or condition of the weather at a place usually over a period of years as exhibited by temperature, wind velocity, and precipitation b : the prevailing set of conditions (as of temperature and humidity) indoors [e.g. air-conditioning and heating system]
3 : the prevailing influence or environmental conditions characterizing a group or period : ATMOSPHERE

BY THE WAY:
Asking questions is easy, but I am sure you are not a lazy person and would like to look things up yourself next time. So I have attached the following address for you if you need any future help:

So that instead of asking to be spoon-fed, I know that you want to learn to look for meanings and things yourself in the future.

Answer 4

Climate can be categoriezed into; moist-tropical,deserts,Tundra & Arboreal. Deserts have a different climate than the Tundra or the tropics. The air temperature can be in the same range in the Amazon rain forest and the dessert of southwestern USA on a given day. But, their climates differ. Because, the desert air has very little water in it than the air of the Amazon or some rain forest elsewhere. The Tundra climate is very cold compared to the desert. But, both have similar air. Drier,Lower in water than the Arboreal & Tropical areas.

Answer 5

Climate is simply the weather of a region over a long period such as the average weather in the Carribbean over 200 years.

Weather is whatever is going on outside at the moment.

Answer 6

It's having the same weather for a long period of time. For example. The climate in California is hot.

Answer 7

Climate is defined as the sustained average weather patterns of at least a thirty-year average

Answer 8

The meteorological conditions, including temperature, precipitation, and wind, that characteristically prevail in a particular region.
A region of the earth having particular meteorological conditions: lives in a cold climate.
A prevailing condition or set of attitudes in human affairs: a climate of unrest.

Answer 9

climate=the average weather conditions at a particular place over a period of years:a tropical climate

Answer 10

The climate (ancient Greek: κλίμα) is the weather averaged over a long period of time. A descriptive saying is that "climate is what you expect, weather is what you get." The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) glossary definition is: The exact boundaries of what is climate and what is weather are not well defined and depend on the application. For example, in some senses an individual El Niño event could be considered climate; in others, as weather.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate

"Climate" is a very general term that has a variety of closely related meanings. Usually, "climate" refers to the average, or typical, weather conditions observed over a long period of time for a given area. For instance, the climate of Wisconsin in the winter is cold, with occasional snow. The climate of the tropical oceans is warm and humid, with occasional showers or thunderstorms. Climate variations can occur from year to year, or one decade to another, one century to another, or any longer time scale.
There is still alot of uncertainty about what causes climate variations, with some of the factors being: variations in the sun, changes in ocean circulation, changes in land cover types, the production of greenhouse gases by mankind's burning of fossil fuels, and the role of man-made aerosols on cloud formation.
Interesting facts:
WHAT'S NATURAL AND WHAT'S MAN-MADE? The biggest uncertainty in predicting future climate change, including global warming, is knowing what part of observed climate change in the past is natural and what part is man-made. Since climate change occurs naturally, we don't know how much of the 1 deg. F warming in the last century is due to mankind pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere versus the Earth simply coming out of the "Little Ice Age".

The climate where you live is called regional climate. It is the average weather in a place over more than thirty years. To describe the regional climate of a place, people often tell what the temperatures are like over the seasons, how windy it is, and how much rain or snow falls. The climate of a regional depends on many factors including the amount of sunlight it receives, its height above sea level, the shape of the land, and how close it is to oceans. Since the equator receives more sunlight than the poles, climate varies depending on distance from the equator.

However, we can also think about the climate of an entire planet. Global climate is a description of the climate of a planet as a whole, with all the regional differences averaged. Overall, global climate depends on the amount of energy received by the Sun and the amount of energy that is trapped in the system. These amounts are different for different planets. Scientists who study Earth's climate and climate change study the factors that affect the climate of our whole planet.

While the weather can change in just a few hours, climate changes over longer timeframes. Climate events, like El Nino, happen over several years, small-scale fluctuations happen over decades, and larger climate changes happen over hundreds and thousands of years. Today, climates are changing. Our Earth is warming more quickly than it has in the past according to the research of scientists. Hot summer days may be quite typical of climates in many regions of the world, but global warming is causing Earth’s average global temperature to increase. The amount of solar radiation, the chemistry of the atmosphere, clouds, and the biosphere all affect Earth’s climate.
