    Weather is defined as the short-term state of the atmosphere regarding temperature, precipitation, wind, and other factors. On Earth, weather occurs primarily in the troposphere and is driven by differences in air pressure, temperature, and moisture between locations due to factors like the sun's angle. Weather forecasting aims to predict future atmospheric conditions for a given place and time, but small changes can have large and unpredictable effects due to the chaotic nature of Earth's weather system. Studying other planets and stars helps understand weather on Earth as phenomena like Jupiter's Great Red Spot and the solar wind also influence atmospheric conditions elsewhere in the solar system.

    Weather is the state of the atmosphere, describing for example the degree to which it is

    hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy.[1] On Earth, most weather
    phenomena occur in the lowest level of the planet's atmosphere, the troposphere,[2][3] just
    below the stratosphere. Weather refers to day-to-day temperature
    and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the averaging of atmospheric
    conditions over longer periods of time.[4] When used without qualification, "weather" is
    generally understood to mean the weather of Earth.
    Weather is driven by air pressure, temperature, and moisture differences between one
    place and another. These differences can occur due to the Sun's angle at any particular
    spot, which varies with latitude. The strong temperature contrast between polar and
    tropical air gives rise to the largest scale atmospheric circulations: the Hadley cell,
    the Ferrel cell, the polar cell, and the jet stream. Weather systems in the middle latitudes,
    such as extratropical cyclones, are caused by instabilities of the jet streamflow. Because
    Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane (called the ecliptic), sunlight is incident
    at different angles at different times of the year. On Earth's surface, temperatures usually
    range ±40 °C (−40 °F to 100 °F) annually. Over thousands of years, changes in
    Earth's orbit can affect the amount and distribution of solar energy received by Earth,
    thus influencing long-term climate and global climate change.
    Surface temperature differences in turn cause pressure differences. Higher altitudes are
    cooler than lower altitudes, as most atmospheric heating is due to contact with the
    Earth's surface while radiative losses to space are mostly constant. Weather
    forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of
    the atmosphere for a future time and a given location. Earth's weather system is
    a chaotic system; as a result, small changes to one part of the system can grow to have
    large effects on the system as a whole. Human attempts to control the weather have
    occurred throughout history, and there is evidence that human activities such as
    agriculture and industry have modified weather patterns.
    Studying how the weather works on other planets has been helpful in understanding how
    weather works on Earth. A famous landmark in the Solar System, Jupiter's Great Red
    Spot, is an anticyclonic storm known to have existed for at least 300 years. However, the
    weather is not limited to planetary bodies. A star's corona is constantly being lost to
    space, creating what is essentially a very thin atmosphere throughout the Solar System.
    The movement of mass ejected from the Sun is known as the solar wind.
