Differences
The difference between weather and climate is that weather is the atmospheric condition of a specific place and time while climate is the average weather conditions over a long period of time.
The difference between high air pressure systems and low air pressure systems is that high pressure systems have clear skies and calm weather while low pressure systems have clouds and precipitation.
Cold fronts are when cold air forces warm air to rise and replaces it. Cold fronts bring heavy thunderstorms and hail. Warm fronts are when warm air takes over cold air. Warm fronts cause rain and drizzles.
Solar Effects on the Air
Solar Effects on the Air
The Sun affects our hydrosphere and atmosphere in many ways. The most obvious is evaporation, a major part of the water cycle. The sun heats up the Earth's water, causing it to evaporate into water vapor. Uneven heating is caused by Earth's curvature. The equator is the closest part of the Earth to the sun, while the poles are further away. Because of this, our Earth doesn't receive heat in equal amounts. This creates convection currents, where fluids move in a circular motion of heating and cooling, rising and sinking.
