What is the difference between atmosphere and weather?

Weather is the mix of events that happen each day in our atmosphere including temperature, rainfall and humidity. Weather is not the same everywhere. Perhaps it is hot, dry and sunny today where you live, but in other parts of the world it is cloudy, raining or even snowing. Everyday, weather events are recorded and predicted by meteorologists worldwide.

Climate in your place on the globe controls the weather where you live. Climate is the average weather pattern in a place over many years. So, the climate of Antarctica is quite different than the climate of a tropical island. Hot summer days are quite typical of climates in many regions of the world, even without the affects of global warming.

Climates are changing because our Earth is warming, according to the research of scientists. Does this contribute to a warm summer day? It may, however global climate change is actually much more complicated than that because a change in the temperature can cause changes in other weather elements such as clouds or precipitation.

The relationship between two meteorological terms you state is as follows. In most parts of the world atmospheric pressure determines weather. Basically the bigger the atmospheric pressure gradient the greater the wind force also High pressure (e.g. 1030 millibars or higher) around your location normally means nice weather and pleasant warm sunshine. Low pressure (e.g. 970 millibars or less) tends to mean unpleasant windy and usually rainy weather.

atmosphere is the sum and substance above the Earth surface. Weather is the effect of the atmosphere locally.

Atmosphere is the blanket of air which is wrapped around the Earth. It consists of gases clouds etc. and also acts as a shield for us.

weather is a climatic condition of a place for over a shot period of time.

The atmosphere is a compilation of gasses, like nitrogen and oxegyn, and trace amounts of other gasses.

Weather is the STATE of the atmosphere... in respects to wind, pressure, moisture, etc..

Atmosphere is the gaseous mixture that surrounds us

weather is the day's climate as rain ,wind, humidity , etc

Atmosphere is climate of some place.

Weather is everyday's condition of temperature, wind & clouds.

I every time spend my half an hour to read this blog's posts daily along with a mug of coffee.

uhh i think its the same thing?
