Milk sold as whole milk has been processed to reduce the fat to 3-1/4 percent. The milk is then homogenized by forcing it through small nozzles that reduce the fat globules to such a small size that they remain evenly spread throughout the milk. The homogenized whole milk is then pasturized by heating it to a high enough temperature to destroy any harmful bacteria, and then cooled and packaged for sale.
Whole milk is milk as it comes from the cow, with all the butter fat still contained.

Skim milk is made when all the cream (also called milkfat) is removed from whole milk. Whole milk has between 3 and 4% fat. 2% has the milkfat reduced to about half.
It is called whole milk.
Cream will settle on top of unskimmed or whole milk.

Conventional method of making skim milk involved removing a thick layer of fat from whole milk. However, these days a process called as centrifugation is used to separate the fat content from the milk. The milk that is obtained after removing all of its fat is called as skim milk.
You are talking about 2 different things. Whole milk is milk that has not been "skimmed" or had its milk fat removed. Whole milk contains about 4% milk fat, while reduced-fat milk varieties may contain 1 or 2% milk fat. Skim milk has no milk fat left, and is also called "fat free" milk. Pasteurization is the sterilization process by which foods, including milk, are treated in order to kill pathogens which can cause disease. Any variety of milk may be pasteurized. In fact, whole, 2%, 1% or skim pasteurized milk are widely available in most grocery stores in the United States and Canada.
It is possible to use evaporated milk instead of whole milk when making a Jiffy cornbread mix. 2% milk is also a viable option.
Um, Okay... Milk doesn't come straight from the cow to your milk carton. It gets processed, bleached, pasteurized and all that other good, unnatural stuff. Whole milk has the fat left in it - that's why it's called "whole." But the fat can also be removed to make varying levels of fat content, thus - 2%, 1%, and skim. Whole milk has more like 4-6% fat content.
