"Whether" vs. "Weather" in English

What Is Their Main Difference?

These two are homophones. However, 'whether' is a conjunction that shows contrasting ideas, whereas, 'weather' is a noun that shows the climate.

Differences

'Whether' is a subordinating conjunction that shows contrasting ideas, while, 'weather' is a noun that shows the climate of a particular location. Look at the examples below:

Whether or not you join us is up to you.

Did you check the weather for the weekend?

Similarities

These two are only similar in that they have similar pronunciations.

Are They Interchangeable?

Since they are two completely different words, they cannot be used interchangeably. 'Whether' shows contrasting ideas, while, 'weather' refers to the climate. Compare:

✓ It seems that the weather is stormy tonight.

X It seems that the whether is stormy tonight.

As you can see, this one is wrong.
