Question

Which of the two changes frequently, climate or weather?

Answer 1

Hint: When we want to talk about the average temperature of a place, the amount of rainfall it receives, the overall atmospheric temperature of the place that remains all year round, we use the word climate. While when we want to know about the day to day temperature or the amount of rainfall a place will receive or whether it will be sunny or hazy that day, we use the word weather.

Complete answer:
We must be well aware of the differences between the climate and weather.
Weather is the atmospheric condition of a small place over a small period of time. Climate, on the other hand, is the average of the atmospheric condition that remains at a place over a long time. For example, the atmospheric condition of Rajasthan remains hot and humid the year around. Therefore, here we would say that the climate of Rajasthan is very hot and humid. This is so because it will neither change too much from its average condition and will remain almost the same throughout the year.

But when we say weather, it might change frequently because every day the atmospheric condition of a place cannot remain the same. Some days it will rain while the other it might be bright and sunny and in many places it may even snow. Hence, weather changes from time to time.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is weather.

Note: Here it must be noted that the average day to day weather of a place determines the climate of the place. While weather only affects the day to day activity of an individual, climate might have a great influence on the lifestyle of the person.
