🌦️ Climate Zones and Weather

Weather is what is happening in the sky right now or today, like rain, sunshine, or snow. Climate is the usual weather pattern in a place over many years.

Earth has several major climate zones: tropical, dry, temperate, continental, polar, and highland.

Places near the equator tend to be warm year-round, while places near the poles stay cold. Places high up in the mountains can be cool even near the equator.

Understanding climate helps people know what crops to grow, what clothes to pack, and how to prepare for storms or seasons.
