2. Climate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate

   Climate is the long-term weather pattern in a region, typically averaged over 30 years. [ 1 ][ 2 ] More rigorously, it is the mean and variability of meteorological variables over a time spanning from months to millions of years. Some of the meteorological variables that are commonly measured are temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure ...

3. Climate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_system

   The five components of the climate system all interact. They are the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the lithosphere and the biosphere. [1]: 1451 Earth's climate system is a complex system with five interacting components: the atmosphere (air), the hydrosphere (water), the cryosphere (ice and permafrost), the lithosphere (earth's upper rocky layer) and the biosphere (living things).

4. Climate change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

   The environmental effects of climate change are broad and far-reaching, affecting oceans, ice, and weather. Changes may occur gradually or rapidly. Evidence for these effects comes from studying climate change in the past, from modelling, and from modern observations. [ 199 ]

5. Climate variability and change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_variability_and_change

   Climate variability is the term to describe variations in the mean state and other characteristics of climate (such as chances or possibility of extreme weather, etc.) "on all spatial and temporal scales beyond that of individual weather events." Some of the variability does not appear to be caused by known systems and occurs at seemingly ...

6. Natural environment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_environment

   Most weather phenomena occur in the troposphere, [27] [28] just below the stratosphere. Weather refers, generally, to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time. [29] When used without qualification, "weather" is understood to be the weather ...

7. Solar activity and climate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_activity_and_climate

   Solar activity and climate. Solar irradiance (yellow) plotted with temperature (red) since 1880. Patterns of solar irradiance and solar variation have been a main driver of climate change over the millions to billions of years of the geologic time scale. Evidence that this is the case comes from analysis on many timescales and from many sources ...
