   whats the difference between weather and climate 

Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere in a region and its short-term (minutes to weeks) variations, whereas climate is defined as statistical weather information that describes the variation of weather at a given place for a specified interval. They are both used interchangeably sometimes but differ in terms of the length of time they measure and what trends affect them.
Weather is the combination of temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, visibility, and wind. In popular usage, climate represents the synthesis of weather; more formally, it is the weather of a locality averaged over some period (usually 30 years), plus statistics of weather extremes. 

some interesting weather facts for kids

1) The amount of science a location receives changes with the changing seasons. There is more seasonal changes at locations closer to the Earth's poles.

2) Scientists also discovered that air pressure causes weather changes. A high air pressure causes the air to sink becoming warmer and drier. A low air pressure causes air to rise, collecting more moisture. Low air pressure typically results in rain, hail, snow or other moisture to fall from the sky.

 

3)Rain is made from water vapor in the air. The water vapor collects small air particles like dust and additional water vapor to make clouds. When the drops of water in the cloud grow large enough, it falls as rain.

The highest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica is 14.6 °C (59 °F), recorded on January 5, 1974. . The most rainfall ever recorded in 24 hours is 182.5 centimeters (71.9 inches) in Foc-Foc, La Reunion, during tropical cyclone Denise on January 8, 1966. The most rainfall ever recorded in one year is 25.4 meters (1000 inches) in Cherrapunji, India. . The highest snowfall ever recorded in a one year period was 31.1 meters (1224 inches) in Mount Rainier, Washington State, United States, between February 19, 1971 and February 18, 1972. The fastest wind speed ever recorded is 484±32 km/h (301±20 mph). This was a 3 second gust recorded by a Doppler on Wheels (DOW) radar unit in Oklahoma City on May 3, 1999. The heaviest hailstone ever recorded weighed 1.0 kg (2.25 lb) and landed in Gopalganj District, Bangladesh on April 14, 1986. Clouds can be categorized into a number of different types; these include cumulus, stratus and cirrus. The earth experiences millions of lightning storms every year, they are incredible discharges of electricity from the atmosphere that can reach temperatures close to 54,000 °F (30,000 °C) and speeds of 60,000 m/s (130,000 mph). The USA has more tornadoes than any other country in the world, averaging around 1200 a year. This is due largely to its unique geography which forms an area in central USA called “Tornado Alley” which is frequently hit by tornadoes. Tropical cyclones (often referred to as hurricanes or typhoons) feature strong winds, driving rain, rough seas and areas of low atmospheric pressure. They frequently form in tropical areas of the globe and can do considerable damage to populated areas. Examples of this include the 1970 Bhola cyclone, Typhoon Nina which hit China in 1975 and more recently in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina which caused great devastation and loss of life when it hit southern parts of the USA.  meteorologists, who are they    A meteorologist is a scientist who studies weather; and may, like a weather presenter (who often are not scientists) engage in weather forecasting, or may solely conduct research. Category:Climatologists is a closely related category of researchers in climatology, the study of climate .
