| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the air that surrounds the Earth; it is made of a mixture of gases | Atmosphere |
| general pattern of weather in an area over a long period of time [30 years or more (many decades)] | Climate |
| the process of water changing from water vapor to a liquid by loss of heat (e.g., weather - water vapor forming clouds) | Condensation |
| the process of water changing from a liquid to water vapor by adding heat (e.g., weather - water in oceans evaporating into the air) | Evaporation |
| acting in such a way so to have an effect on something else | Interact |
| water that falls to the Earth’s surface as rain, snow, sleet, or hail | Precipitation |
| a huge ball of gases around which the Earth and other planets of the solar system revolve; the Sun is a star that provides Earth with most of its light and thermal energy | Sun |
| the change of water from one state to another as it moves between Earth’s surfaces to the atmosphere | Water cycle |
| day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere in an area; weather has short-term variations (e.g., weather can change from minute-to-minute, day-to-day, or week-to-week) | Weather |
