How is Climate Different from Weather?
Climate is the usual weather in a place over a long time, like many years. While weather can change day to day, climate changes very slowly. For example, a desert climate is usually hot and dry most of the time.
A tropical climate is warm and rainy for much of the year. Climate affects what plants grow in an area and what animals live there. It also influences how people build their homes and what foods they can grow. Understanding climate helps us prepare for the future.
