What is the difference between climate and weather?

What is CLIMATE?? What is WEATHER??

What is the difference between climate and weather?Weather is the word that describes conditions in the atmosphere (such as temperature, precipitation, wind and cloudiness) at a specific time for a specific place. For example, when someone asks, "What's the weather like outside?" he or she wants to know what is going on in a certain area at that moment.

Climate is what you get when you summarize the weather for a long period of time. Even though California might have rainy weather one day, its average weather over the entire year is still dry and mild. Scientists who study global warming look at the big picture. They look at how rising temperatures will affect the earth's climate.
