* '''Climatology''' — The scientific study of climate.
* '''Climate''' — The long-term average of weather patterns in a specific area (usually 30+ years).
* '''Weather''' — The state of the atmosphere at a place and time (heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain).
* '''Greenhouse Effect''' — The trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere.
* '''Greenhouse Gases (GHGs)''' — Gases like CO2, Methane (CH4), and Water Vapor that absorb heat.
* '''Insolation''' — The amount of solar radiation reaching a given area (Sunlight).
* '''Albedo''' — The proportion of the incident light or radiation that is reflected by a surface (e.g., Ice has high albedo, Water has low).
* '''Equinox / Solstice''' — Key points in the Earth's orbit that determine the seasons.
* '''Jet Stream''' — Fast-flowing, narrow air currents in the atmosphere that steer weather systems.
* '''Ocean Currents''' — The "Conveyor Belt" of the ocean that moves heat around the planet (e.g., The Gulf Stream).
* '''El Niño / La Niña''' — Natural cycles of warming and cooling in the Pacific Ocean that affect global weather.
* '''Paleoclimatology''' — The study of past climates using data from ice cores, tree rings, and fossils.
* '''Climate Proxy''' — Sources of climate information from the past that "stand in" for direct measurements (e.g., an air bubble in 100,000-year-old ice).
