When does the weather reflect the atmospheric conditions and when does the climate reflect the atmospheric conditions? urgent

Weather refers to the ever-changing atmospheric state, which is not only the atmospheric state in a certain time and space, but also the continuous change of atmospheric state in a certain time interval. So it can be understood as a general term for weather phenomena and weather processes. Weather phenomenon refers to various natural phenomena in the atmosphere, that is, the comprehensive expression of the spatial distribution of various meteorological elements in the atmosphere (such as temperature, pressure, humidity, wind, clouds, fog, rain, snow, frost, lightning, hail, etc.). ) in an instant. The weather process is the change process of weather phenomena with time in a certain area.

Climate is the average or statistical state of meteorological elements and weather phenomena for a long time, and the time scale is months, seasons, years, years to hundreds of years.

There is no strict distinction between the time scales of weather and climate, and different applications have different standards.
