What's the difference between meteorology, weather and climate?

Can you answer at once? Yes, we often use or hear these words. We know they are different, but it is not so easy to say them accurately, is it? T Meteorology, in popular terms, refers to wind, clouds, rain, snow, fog, bo, frost, hail, freezing, sand blowing, floating dust and whirling in the sky. Dead air refers to the comprehensive situation that affects the instantaneous meteorological characteristics of human activities. For example, we can say that the weather is fine today, with clear skies in Wan Li and Wan Li. Yesterday the weather was terrible, windy, rainy, wet and so on, but we can't call this weather weather weather. Climate refers to the multi-year characteristics of meteorological conditions of the whole earth or a certain area (called time period); For example, the South China Sea Islands in China have no severe cold all year round, and there is no obvious division of four seasons, which can be considered as a tropical climate with warm and hot seasons. For example, most areas of Liucheng in the Yangtze River are mild in spring and autumn, hot in midsummer and cold in winter. We call it a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Do you understand now? There are differences between them, but they are interrelated and closely related.
