The amount of water vapor in the air.

The condition of the atmosphere in one area at a particular time.

A measure of height above sea level.

A mixture of gases surrounds the Earth.

The light energy that is given off by a light source, like the sun.

When a surface bounces back energy (light, heat) without absorbing it.

When a surface takes in light energy -transforming it into thermal energy.

The relationship between the amount of matter in a sample and its volume.

A certain amount of air in a closed system.

A measure of the actual amount of water vapor in the air compared to the total amount of vapor that can exist in the air at its current temperature.

The process in which individual water molecules on the surface of a liquid gain enough motion energy (kinetic energy) to leave the liquid and become a gas.

The process in which water vapor becomes liquid.

Condensation/Boiling Point

The temperature at which a substance (like water) turns from gas into liquid and vice versa.

The temperature at which a material changes from a solid state to a liquid.

The temperature at which a material changes from a liquid state to a solid.

When cooling a substance turns it from a gas into a solid.

Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN)

Any type of solid particle that water vapor sticks to as it cools down.

When the air above a place is denser than the surrounding air.

When the air above a place is less dense than the surrounding air.

A way of describing relative changes in the density of air. The force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth.

A device that can detect very small changes in the density of air. A tool that measures air pressure.

The force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

The amount of matter or substance that makes up an object.

The circular movement of fluid. When fluid is heated, it rises and spreads out. As fluid cools, it sinks again.

A substance that has no fixed shape and yields easily to pressure. A material that flows when force is applied.

Movement in a definite direction in a body of water or air.

A rapidly rotating storm system with strong winds and heavy winds.

A large section of air with similar humidity and temperature.

The boundary between the warm air and the cold air.

The typical conditions of the atmosphere in a place, usually determined by averaging the weather there over 30 years.

The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time.

Found near equator, high temperatures and receives more than 400 inches of rain / year.

Found near coastal areas north or south of the equator, cooler temperatures and receives about 100 inches of rain / year.

A form of matter that is uniform throughout in both chemical composition and physical state. (example: solid, liquid, gas or plasma)

When matter changes to from one state (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to another.

Motion of particles in a substance.

A tool for measuring and indicating temperature.

Anything that takes up space and can be weighed.
