What is the main difference between climate change and weather?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Weather is short-term condition and climate change is long-term change
Weather describes the short-term state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time, including temperature, rainfall, wind, and pressure. Climate refers to long-term patterns and averages over many decades. Climate change means a persistent shift in those long-term averages or variability; a single cold day does not disprove long-term warming.
