What to Focus On
- Weather is short-term and changes frequently.
- Climate is the long-term average of weather conditions.
- Seasons are caused by Earth's tilt and revolution around the Sun.
- Latitude affects temperature based on sun ray angle.
- Temperature decreases with altitude at 1°C per 165 meters.
- Coastal areas have milder climates; inland areas have extremes.
- Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of air.

- Wind moves from high to low pressure and affects weather systems.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Weather and climate are the same thing; they just describe hot or cold conditions.
Seasons are caused by the Earth's distance from the Sun during its orbit.
Temperature decreases with altitude because we are moving away from the Sun.
