Tropical cyclone, also called typhoon or hurricane, an intense circular storm that originates over warm tropical oceans

and
is characterized by low atmospheric pressure, high winds, and heavy rain.

The term typhoon is used only in the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean.
In the northeastern part of the Pacific Ocean and in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, the equivalent term is hurricane.
Cyclone is the term used in the south Pacific or Indian Ocean.

Coriolis Force
The invisible force that appears to deflect the wind is the Coriolis force. The Coriolis force applies to movement on rotating
objects. It is determined by the mass of the object and the object's rate of rotation. The Coriolis force is perpendicular to the
object's axis. The Earth spins on its axis from west to east. The Coriolis force, therefore, acts in a north-south direction. The
Coriolis force is zero at the Equator
Storms that form north of the equator spin counterclockwise. Storms south of the equator spin clockwise. This difference is
because of Earth's rotation on its axis.

Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves"
over relatively long periods of time

Tropical depression, tropical storm, typhoon, and supertyphoon are categories of tropical cyclones. In simple terms, a tropical
cyclone is a system of thunderstorms that are moving around a center. As the winds intensify or weaken, the category is
upgraded or downgraded accordingly.

Tropical Cyclone Categories Maximum Wind Speed

Category kilometers per hour (kph)

Tropical Depression 64
Tropical Storm 118
Typhoon 200
Supertyphoon greater than 200

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, PAGASA, is a Philippine national
institution dedicated to provide flood and typhoon warnings, public weather forecasts and advisories, meteorological,
astronomical, climatological, and other specialized information and services primarily for the protection of life and property
and in support of economic, productivity and sustainable development.
PAGASA monitors tropical cyclone activity and issues warnings within its area of responsibility. This area is bound by an
imaginary line drawn along the following coordinates:
25N 120E, 25N 135E, 5N 135E, 5N 115E, 15N 115E, 21N 120E and back to the beginning. (Philippine Area of
Responsibility)

A comet is an icy body that releases gas or dust. They are often compared to dirty snowballs, though recent research has led
some scientists to call them snowy dirtballs. Comets contain dust, ice, carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane and more.
Comets orbit the sun, but most are believed to inhabit in an area known as the Oort Cloud, far beyond the orbit of Pluto.
Short-period comets (those which take less than 200 years to complete an orbit around the Sun) originate from the Kuiper
Belt. Danish astronomer Jan Oort proposed that comets reside in a huge cloud at the outer reaches of the solar system, far
beyond the orbit of Pluto. This has come to be known as the Oort Cloud.

Asteroids
a small rocky body orbiting the sun. Large numbers of these, ranging in size from nearly 600 miles (1,000 km) across (Ceres)
to dust particles, are found (as the asteroid belt ) especially between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, though some have more
eccentric orbits, and a few pass close to the earth or enter the atmosphere as meteors.

Meteoroid, meteor, meteorites

Meteoroids are the smallest members of the solar system, ranging in size from large fragments of asteroids or comets, to
extremely small micrometeoroids.
Whenever a meteoroid plows into the Earths atmosphere, it will create a brief flash of moving light in the sky, called a
meteor.
If remnants of the parent meteoroid survive the trip through the atmosphere to reach the ground, then these remnants are
called meteorites.
