Believe it or not, there is a difference. It relates to the average amount of cloud cover expected. Would you believe partly sunny means more cloud cover than partly cloudy? Can be confusing to the public...mostly sunny means more sun than partly cloudy does, while partly sunny means more clouds than partly cloudy does. Anyway, from least cloud cover to most, the scale is: sunny, mostly sunny, partly cloudy, partly sunny, mostly cloudy, cloudy. Mostly sunny means more sun than clouds, partly sunny means more clouds than sun, and partly cloudy generally means an equal amount of clouds and sun.
Partly cloudy refers to a sky condition where clouds cover a portion of the sky, allowing some sunlight to shine through. Partly sunny, on the other hand, means that the sky is mostly cloudy with some breaks where the sun shines through. Thus, the main distinction lies in whether the emphasis is on the presence of clouds (partly cloudy) or on the availability of sun (partly sunny).
Partly Sunny and partly cloudy are synonyms. The only difference is that partly sunny is used for daytime clouds, and partly cloudy is used for night and/or day. They both mean the same thing, over all.
That, up there, that answer is wrong. Partly sunny means some sun. Partly cloudy means some clouds. They are not the some thing!
hahaha there is no difference at all, they just put it that way so they can get away with it.

Yes, when we say "Fair", it's equal with the sun than the clouds. "Mostly Cloudy" is when there are more clouds than sun.
