One key observation that helps explain circulation patterns in the atmosphere is the unequal heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun. This differential heating causes variations in air density and temperature, leading to the formation of high and low-pressure systems. Additionally, the Coriolis effect, resulting from the Earth's rotation, influences the direction of wind patterns, causing them to curve rather than flow straight. Together, these factors create complex circulation systems, such as trade winds and the jet stream, that significantly impact weather and climate.
I analyze the evidence collected to draw conclusions and make connections. By examining patterns, relationships, and trends, I can reveal insights and provide explanations that help clarify the observation.
No, it is consntly changing due to weather patterns and pollutant in air.
No, the atmosphere is not always the same. It can vary in composition and characteristics due to factors like weather patterns, human activities, and natural events like volcanic eruptions. These variations can impact things like air quality, temperature, and precipitation patterns.
Scientists learn from their observations by analyzing patterns, making connections between different observations, and forming hypotheses to explain their findings. They then design experiments to test these hypotheses and refine their understanding of the natural world through observation and experimentation.
Clouds should be classified as part of the atmosphere because they are composed of water vapor and water droplets suspended in the air, forming within the atmospheric layers. They play a crucial role in weather patterns and climate by influencing temperature and precipitation. While they contain water, their formation and behavior are primarily atmospheric phenomena, making them integral to atmospheric science.

The temperature of Earth's atmosphere is a measure of the average kinetic energy of air molecules. Heat in the atmosphere is transferred through processes such as conduction, convection, radiation, and phase changes. The temperature and heat distribution in the atmosphere are influenced by factors like solar radiation, greenhouse gases, and atmospheric circulation patterns.

Observation.
Forming a hypothesis - to explain the observation.
That is true. Science tries to make sense of what is observed, to explain the universe in which we live. Until you make an observation, there is nothing to explain.
When you are using the scientific method, you would try to imagine a hypothesis which explains an observation, but you might not succeed. A hypothesis that does not explain an observation would be considered a failed hypothesis. You would then need to invent a different hypothesis.
I have no clue
You must observe to explain.
An observation.
By observation (and by knowing "everything").
