Climate refers to the long-term patterns of temperature, precipitation, wind, and other atmospheric conditions in a particular region or across the entire planet. It is determined by factors such as the Earth’s tilt, distance from the sun, ocean currents, and atmospheric composition. Climate influences the type of ecosystems, vegetation, and wildlife found in different areas and plays a critical role in shaping human societies and activities. Changes in climate, whether natural or influenced by human activities, can have profound impacts on weather patterns, sea levels, biodiversity, agriculture, and human health. Understanding and monitoring climate are essential for predicting and mitigating the effects of climate change, promoting sustainability, and safeguarding the well-being of future generations.
