    Answer:
Weather refers to short-term changes in atmospheric conditions. Here, short-term means that the changes taking place over a duration of seconds, minutes, or hours, or from day to day. It is a term that describes the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place. Changes in the weather are continuous and sometimes erratic.

Climate refers to the long-term changes in atmospheric conditions. Arithmetical averages are often used to describe climate. Seasonal patterns are included in climate measurement. Climate are often represented by the long-term average of the seasonal cycle over a number of years.
