[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

This energy mainly comes from the sun and is constantly being cycled through different parts of the Earth, including the atmosphere, oceans, and land. Climate is determined by factors such as the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth, the composition of the atmosphere, the amount of greenhouse gases present, and the Earth's orbit around the sun. Changes in these factors can result in shifts in climate patterns, such as long-term changes in temperature and precipitation. Climate change refers to significant and lasting shifts in these patterns, often caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
