Best Answer

The whirlwind is a small meteorological phenomenon (i.e., tornado or dust devil)-rapidly developed-compared to that of a cyclone. A cyclone is a meteorological phenomenon, which horizontal length ranges from the dozens to hundred miles. Usually meteorological systems developed in southwestern Pacific Ocean or Indian ocean are cataloged as cyclones. As for which system is more destructive, it is debatable (e.g., a cyclone's path can be predicted with acceptable accuracy while a whirlwind cannot).
