what is the difference between whether and weather..?

Answer 1

Whether is used to mean "regardless of circumstances" (as in whether or not...); it is used to introduce an alternative, like the word "if" (check whether the library is open); or as "either" (whether by hook or by crook).


Weather (noun) refers to atmospheric climate - temperature, moisture, wind velocity, barometric pressure.
Weather (verb) means to expose to the action of the elements.
Weather (adjective) refers to things associated with climate (weather man, weather plane).
There are other idioms using the word weather, like "Under the weather," meaning ill, or "to make heavy weather of," meaning making something seem more difficult than it is.

Answer 2

Whether as in whether or not. Weather as in the weather is rainy.

Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot
We'll weather the weather whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not

Answer 3

some say whether is derived from the ancient latin word weTratusis literally meaning this or this, and thus to find the meaning of whether one must simply look to its roots. it is used to introduce a single alternative, the other being implied or understood, or some clause or element not involving alternatives: example: See whether or not she has come. I doubt whether we can do any better.

weather is simply the weather outside. ex. snow, rain......
the weather was bad because it was raining.

Answer 4

Well lets see, weather is the kind that's on the news, rain, snow, sunny. for example "The weather outside is very chilly". Whether pretty much means "which one of the two" for example "i cant figure out which restaurant to go to tonight"

Answer 5

It depends on whether or not you know what the weather outside is like

Answer 6

Answer 8

weather is the word for the climate like what's the weather today? it's sunny.
