Climate science is the effort by humans to understand the natural forces that control the climate. A planet’s climate is driven by the energy of the Sun falling on the planet’s surface, which varies widely depending on latitude and the season. Climate is ultimately determined by the complex interplay between that energy and the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and land masses.

What is climate science?
Climate science, or climatology, is the study of Earth’s climate. Climate scientists want to better understand our planet’s atmosphere and how it affects various ecosystems. Many equate climate with the weather. And indeed, the word climate is usually defined as the average weather conditions in a particular area over a long-term period, such as years or decades. But climate science touches far more than weather trends. It explores how climate conditions affect a variety of habitats such as oceans, rivers, forests, deserts, and grasslands, as well as the creatures living within those habitats.

What is a climatologist?-Climatologists are often confused with meteorologists, who study current weather conditions and make short-term forecasts for temperature, winds, and amount and type of precipitation. -Climatologists study long-term trends in the climate, which can affect: energy usage, food production survival of endangered species even human health and life expectancy. -Climatology can actually be a lot more exciting than it sounds (read on!)
