What is Climate?
What does the Earth's Climate look like?
Have you ever wondered ...
... how the Earth is different from other planets?
Follow us on our journey ...
... to discover what makes our planet so unique
Let's dive in and have a closer look
Land, water and the atmosphere ...
...help shape what we call "Climate"
But there isn't just one Climate
Our world can be divided into different climatic regions
Polar
Continental
Temperate
Dry
Tropical
But that's not everything ...
See these small islands over here?
Looks like they belong to one climate zone, right?
When in reality ...
mountains, lakes, the ocean and cities ...
...shape the climate on even smaller scales
How Earth's Global Climate Is Formed
Bjorn Stevens
What makes planet Earth so unique? It’s all about its Climate. Learn how temperature, the atmosphere, sunlight reflection, greenhouse gases, rainfall, and wind work together to create our global climate. Let’s explore how these elements combine to shape Earth’s distinct climate system.
How Regional Climates Are Shaped
Christian Jakob
Why does the climate vary across the globe? The Sun’s energy, the movement of the atmosphere and oceans, and the interplay between land and sea all create unique climate patterns. Let’s explore how these forces shape the world’s diverse climates in different regions.
This is calledHow Microclimates Work
Microclimates are small-scale climate zones that can vary significantly from the broader climate around them. These differences are influenced by factors such as terrain, vegetation, and human-made environments. Let’s explore how these unique climate variations affect local weather patterns, ecosystems, and even daily life.
