WEATHERWeather is the condition that occured very recently .The current temperature , dew point , relative humidity , cloud cover and precipitation are e.g. of weather . It is current atmospheric conditions , All of these factors make up what we think of weather.

CLIMATEClimate describes the typical weather of

a location . For a good climate data of a location set at least 30 years of data .

Climate also includes what type of weather extremes that can be expected from a

location normal high or low temperature.

GLOBAL WARMING

• Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. This is a type of greenhouse effect.

GLOBAL WARMING

GREEN HOUSE EFECT

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be in the absence of its atmosphere.[1][2] If a planet's atmosphere contains radiatively active gases (i.e., greenhouse gases) the atmosphere radiates energy in all directions. Part of this radiation is directed towards the surface, warming it.
