if/weather

Hi, teachers! Can you answer me,please? What is the difference between 'if' and 'weather'? F.E. I asked you if/weather you'd been there.

" ("Weather" refers to the conditions in the skies) I believe that in 2012, most people use either word interchangeably in your kind of sentence: I asked you if/whether you had been there. If you like to follow rules (as do I), you should use "whether" for noun clauses, such as: I asked you whether you .... I want to know whether you did it or not.
