    Study Notes

    Weather Basics

    • Weather describes the condition of the atmosphere at a particular place and time, including temperature, humidity, cloudiness, wind, and atmospheric pressure.

    Factors Affecting Earth's Temperature

    • The Earth's temperature is affected by heat energy from the sun, as well as the atmosphere's natural greenhouse effect.

    Wind Formation

    • Wind is caused by the difference in air pressure in the atmosphere, resulting in air moving from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas.

    Humidity and Atmospheric Pressure

    • Humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air.
    • Atmospheric pressure is a result of the weight of the air in the atmosphere, which increases with height.

    Temperature and Atmospheric Pressure

    • Temperature describes how hot or cold the air is.
    • Atmospheric pressure changes as air becomes warmer or colder, with pressure decreasing as air rises and increasing as air sinks.

    Clouds and Wind

    • Clouds are visible masses of water vapor in our atmosphere.
    • Wind is caused by the different air pressures in our atmosphere.
