What
Is
Weather?
The
condition
of
the
atmosphere
at
a
specific
time
in
a
specific
place
is
known
as
weather.
The
weather
includes
and
is
affected
by
water,
wind,
temperature
and
air
pressure.
Meteorologists
are
scientists
who
study
and
predict
weather
and
weather
patterns.
Humidity
and
Precipitation
As
water
evaporates
from
oceans,
lakes
and
rivers,
it
is
held
in
the
air.
The
amount
of
water
vapor
in
the
air
is
called
humidity.
Relative
humidity
is
a
percentage
that
compares
the
amount
of
water
vapor
in
the
air
with
the
maximum
amount
of
water
vapor
the
air
can
hold
at
a
specific
temperature.
Precipitation
is
water
that
has
condensed
in
the
atmosphere
and
falls
to
Earth.
Sleet,
snow,
rain
and
hail
are
different
forms
of
precipitation.
The
type
that
falls
at
a
given
time
depends
on
the
temperature.

HUMIDITY
The
Sun’s
Energy
&
the
Water
Cycle
The
continuous
movement
of
water
from
the
Earth’s
surface
to
the
atmosphere
and
back
is
called
the
water
cycle.
Energy
from
the
Sun
heats
water
causing
it
to
evaporate.
Plants
and
animals
also
give
off
water;
this
is
called
transpiration.
The
largest
source
of
atmospheric
water
vapor
is
the
oceans.
This
water
vapor
accumulates
in
the
atmosphere
and
forms
clouds
under
proper
conditions.
Water
eventually
precipitates
out
of
the
clouds
and
falls
back
to
Earth
either
as
rain,
snow
or
sleet.
Types
of
Clouds
Clouds
are
categorized
based
on
their
form
and
composition.
Cloud
Formation
Clouds
form
when
minute
droplets
of
water
or
ice
crystals
accumulate
in
the
atmosphere.
A
variety
of
cloud
types
form
depending
upon
their
height,
air
movement
and
the
amount
of
water
vapor
and
condensation
particles.
Reading
Weather
Maps
A
weather
map
is
a
collection
of
weather
data
in
the
form
of
symbols
indicating
the
weather
conditions
of
a
large
geographic
region
at
a
particular
time.
Sunlight
warms
the
surface
and
water
evaporates.
As
the
air
containing
this
evaporated
water
rises,
it
cools.
At
a
certain
altitude,
condensation
begins
as
the
air
cools
to
the
dew
point.
As
this
cooling
occurs,
the
water
vapor
condenses
(changes)
from
a
vapor
to
a
liquid
forming
a
cloud.
