Abstract
weather refers to the state of atmosphere at a given place and time with respect to variables such as temperature, moisture, wind velocity and air pressure. Climate is the pattern of weather that forms and one expects at a particular place at a given time. The weather or climate of a place usually identifies as warm or cold, wet or dry, cloudy or clear, or windy.
THE BASIS OF weather CHANGES
The basis of predicting the weather prediction depends on the changes brought about by various atmospheric phenomenons, and most of such changes result from the impact of the sun's energy that falls upon the earth.The suns rays warm the earth's surface from -250 degrees centigrade to -18 degree centigrade. The earth further warms to a habitable 15 degree centigrade when the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide and methane trap a further portion of the sun's energy as it travels back to outer space after touching the earth's surface. However, the rotation and tilt of the earth impacts the quantum of suns rays that falls at a particular place at various times, and this cause differences in temperatures. This also causes circulation of ocean currents, winds and convention, all of which are integral to the earth's weather process and the basis for different climatic seasons like summer, winter, spring, and autumn.
