The weather is the state of the atmosphere for our planet. Most atmospheric events occur in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. It’s located around 18 kilometers above the surface of the planet. Aside from our daily temperature, other factors such as precipitation and wind can also affect the weather on Earth.
Don’t confuse the terms “weather” and “climate,” as the former refers to short-term atmospheric conditions. In contrast, the latter refers to weather averaged over a long period.
