Weather, Climate and Hadley Cells

What is weather? Weather is the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, and precipitation in a particular area on a particular day. Almost all weather occurs in the troposphere. (That’s where all the atmospheric water is located.)

What is climate? Climate is an average of the weather conditions at a particular place over a long period of time. Climate is the long-term predictable state of the atmosphere.

Hadley, Ferrel and Polar Cells Patterns of circulation in the atmosphere that distribute heat on the surface of the Earth.
