Climate

Climate refers to the long-term patterns and average conditions of temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, and other atmospheric factors in a particular area over extended periods, typically 30 years or more. It is different from weather, which describes the short-term state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place. Climate can be classified into various zones, such as tropical, arid, temperate, polar, and others, based on the predominant weather patterns and environmental conditions. Understanding climate is essential for studying environmental impacts, ecosystem dynamics, agricultural practices, and global phenomena like climate change.
