question 2
how do polar jet streams differ from tropical jet streams?
check my answer

Explanation:

Weather refers to short - term atmospheric conditions like temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed at a specific place and time. Climate is the long - term average of weather patterns over a large area and extended period (usually 30 years or more). Polar jet streams are located at higher latitudes, are stronger and colder, and are associated with the polar front. Tropical jet streams are at lower latitudes, are weaker and warmer, and are related to the Hadley cell and subtropical high - pressure systems.

Answer:

Question 1: Weather is short - term atmospheric conditions at a specific place and time. Climate is the long - term average of weather patterns over a large area and extended period.
Question 2: Polar jet streams are at higher latitudes, stronger, colder and related to the polar front. Tropical jet streams are at lower latitudes, weaker, warmer and related to Hadley cell and subtropical high - pressure systems.
