     The climate of any place is the kind of weather.It usually has
over a long period of time.The houses we live in,the clothes we wear,
and the food we eat depend on the climate of the place where we live.
      Climate is a pattern that is not nearly as simple as we think,
and it is affected by many factors.The distance to the North or
South Pole or to the equator really matters a lot.If you live near
either of the poles,you live in a cold climate,for the place where
  you live does not get as much or as direct sunshine as a place
  farther away from the poles.In places close to the equator,the
climate is very hot,for they are the parts where the sun shines
almost straight down.
     Whether rain or snow falls makes a great difference to the
climate.In hot,dry deserts,little rain falls,but in a hot rainforest,
the amount (数量) of rainfalls is far larger than that in a desert,for
there is a heavy rain almost every day,even several times per day.
Though a rainforest and a desert may be the same distance from the
equator,their climates are rather different from each other.
      How much rain or snow falls is considered by some to be
determined by the winds,the surrounding mountains and the
currents (水流) in nearby seas and so on.In short,it is a very
complex natural phenomenon.
