cross sectional data is collected at a particular time( so time is same for all data)

Time series data is collected through a period of time.

At this particular time, if you collect temperatures across all major cities in India, it is cross-sectional data.

If you collect temperatures over a period of one day for Chennai then it would be time-series data.
