Weather and Climate in our country Philippines. In our country we have only two weather and climate condition the summer and the rainy season. Because Philippines is located at the near of the equator that's why we are experiencing only two seasons. In other Countries they can experienced four types of seasons the summer, spring, autumn and fall because their countries are far away from the equator.
Weather- Weather is define as the state of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. Weather is described in terms of variable conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind velocity, precipitation, and barometric pressure. Weather on Earth occurs primarily in the troposphere, or lower atmosphere, and is driven by energy from the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. The average weather conditions of a region over time are used to define a region's climate.
Climate- Climate is also define as the weather averaged over a long period of time. The standard averaging period is 30 years, but other periods may be used depending on the purpose. Climate also includes statistics other than the average, such as the magnitudes of day-to-day or year-to-year variations.
The difference between climate and weather is usefully summarized by the popular phrase " Climate is what you expect, Weather is what you get." Over historical time spans there are a number of nearly constant variables that determine climate, including latitude, altitude, proportion of land to water, and proximity to oceans and mountains. These change only over periods of millions of years due to processes such as plate tectonics. Other climate determinants are more dynamic: the thermonuclear circulation of the ocean leads to a 5 degree Celsius warming of the northern Atlantic ocean compared to other ocean basins. Other ocean currents redistribute heat between land ad water on a more regional scale. The density and type of vegetation coverage affects solar heat absorption, water retention, and rainfall on a regional level. Alterations in the quantity of atmospheric greenhouse gases determines the amount of solar energy retained by the planet, leading to global warming or global cooling. The variables which determine climate are numerous and the interactions complex, but there is general agreement that the broad outlines are understood, at least insofar as the determinants of historical climate change are concerned.
