1) What is the difference between weather and climate?
Weather is the condition of the atmosphere ata particular time and place.
Climate is the general weather of an area over a long period of time.

3) What causes Earth to experience weather?
Weather is caused by the Uneven heating of Earth’s surface by the sun.
