A: hello there ! surroundings means a close vicinity from you , an example of your surroundings would be that if you're in a zoo , your surroundings would be the trees and the animals. surroundings means whatever is nearest to you. it has a similar meaning to environment but the difference is the environment is a bigger area comparison adjective compared to surroundings. surroundings is based on the person or object. the environment is based on the space itself ; for example ; the environment would be that if you were in Vietnam , your environment would be sunny , humid , hot and lively. if you were in Antartica , your environment would be ; cold , deserted , gloomy and quiet.

most of the time surroundings is used to describe the scene around you like " what do you see around you ? " and environment is used to describe more scientific description of the scientific and natural world like the climate , weather and ecosystems , questions like " what is the environment around you like ? " would translate to " what is the weather and the ecosystem like around you ? "

i tried my best explaining this , i hope you understand 🙈

A: Both sentences mean the same thing, but use slightly different words. They can both be used in the same way to mean the same thing.

A: Environment is the over arching area. For example, the city environment and jungle environment. It contains everything in that set location. Surroundings are the things in the location. Going back to the city example, the surroundings would be the buildings, the roads, etc. The surroundings in the jungle would be the trees, the animals, etc. I hope this helps!!

A: They mean about the same thing but are used slightly difficulty. i.e: Describe your surroundings. It's in my vicinity. "In my surroundings" or "Describe your vicinity" aren't wrong but they sound weird.

A: In my opinion, environment is more 'vast' (bigger) and surroundings is more specific. Environment is where you live, what your country is, and nature. and surroundings are people or situations. I hope this helps!

A: it would be more correct to say “you should study hard unless the walls collapsed around you.“ However, no one really says that. We would say “you should study hard unless you are in the hospital. That kind of thing.”
