Climate refers to the long-term patterns and average conditions of temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, and other atmospheric phenomena in a particular region over an extended period, typically 30 years or more. It distinguishes itself from weather, which describes short-term atmospheric conditions. Climate encompasses various classifications, such as tropical, arid, temperate, and polar, based on global geographic regions and the specific characteristics of their atmospheric conditions. The study of climate is crucial for understanding ecological systems, agriculture, water resources, and the impact of human activities, including climate change, which alters the traditional patterns and leads to significant environmental consequences.
