The phrase
"climate system" refers to the combination of all the different parts of our Earth that work together to create the weather patterns and conditions we experience. It includes the atmosphere (air), the hydrosphere (water), the cryosphere (ice and snow), the biosphere (plants and animals), and the geosphere (land and rocks). These components of the
climate system interact with each other and influence how our climate behaves over long periods of time.
