A cyclone is any mass of air that spirals around a low pressure center. It is an organized collection of thunderstorms embedded in a swirling mass of air. In general, both typhoons and hurricanes are tropical cyclones but differ in their locations. The difference between hurricane and typhoon is that tropical cyclones in the west Pacific are called Typhoons and those in the Atlantic and east Pacific Ocean are called Hurricanes. It's the longitude that matters.
In the western Pacific near Asia, they call tropical cyclones typhoons.. In most of the southern hemisphere and the Indian Ocean, they simply call tropical cyclones a tropical cyclone.. Keep in mind that a hurricane/typhoon/cyclone generally has winds stronger than 74 MPH. Anything lower than that and it's a buffet of different names. The threshold for naming a system a depression/storm/etc. differs from region to region, but again: same storm, different names.
