current = datetime.now(home)
real = current.strftime("%d/%m/%Y\n%H:%M:%S %p")
clock.config(text=real)
root.after(1000, clock)


root = Tk()
root.title("Weather App")
root.geometry("910x500") 
root.resizable(0, 0)

root.mainloop()

.after calls a function after a certain time , so the second argument that you give to .after is a function , for example :

def update_time():
    current = datetime.now(home)
    real = current.strftime("%d/%m/%Y\n%H:%M:%S %p")
    clock.config(text=real)
    root.after(1000, update_time) #<-- after 1 second the function get called again


root = Tk()
root.title("Weather App")
root.geometry("910x500") 
root.resizable(0, 0)
update_time() #<-- calls the function for the first time so the loop can start

root.mainloop()

so you call the function for the first time to start the loop and then the function calls itself after 1 second to update the time
