How does a tropical storm differ from a hurricane?

Answer 1

Wind speed.

Huge tropical depressions, or low pressure centers, are what tropical storms, hurricanes, and typhoons are. The lower the center's pressure is in comparison to the surrounding air, the greater the pressure gradient, and the higher the gradient, the higher the wind speed. A tropical storm is classified as such when its pressure gradient results in winds of 35 knots, and a hurricane is classified as such when its pressure gradient reaches 64 knots (don't ask me why 64 and not 65).

That should address your query.
