The video explains the difference between weather and climate. Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific place, while climate is the long-term weather pattern of a location. Weather is measured over short periods, and climate over long periods. Factors like temperature, air pressure, and moisture affect weather, whereas climate is influenced by the climate system, altitude, and latitude. Weather is forecasted using meteorological data, while climate predictions rely on long-term weather statistics.
