Climate

The video explores the concepts of weather and climate, explaining the differences between them. It discusses the three main types of climates: polar, tropical, and temperate, and how they affect the environment. The video also explains the Earth's four seasons and the factors that influence climate, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to water bodies. Additionally, it addresses climate change, its causes, and the impact of human activities like burning fossil fuels. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding climate for everyday life.
