| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| weather | the atmospheric conditions, along with short-term changes, of a certain place at a certain time. |
| air pressure | the pressure that a column of air exerts on the air or a surface, below it. |
| humidity | the amount of water vapor in the air. |
| relative humidity | the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could contain at that temperature. |
| dew point | the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could contain at that temperature. |
| precipitation | water, in liquid form, that falls from the atmosphere. |
| water cycle | the series of natural processes by which water continually moves throughout the hydrosphere. |
| high pressure system | a large body of circulating air with high pressure at its center and lower pressure outside of the system. |
