Short AnswerWeather is caused by the movement of air and water in the atmosphere. Water on the earth's surface is heated by the sun. This causes the water to evaporate. As the air and water vapor are heated they begin to rise in the atmosphere. As they rise the air and water vapor begin to cool. This cooling allows the water vapor to condense on tiny dust particles in the atmosphere to form clouds. The air motion causes these tiny water droplets combine to form larger droplets and when the droplets are too heavy to be supported by the upflow of air they fall back to the ground as rain. (Or if it is cold enough at the surface, snow.) The rain collects into rivers, stream, and lakes. The water will evaporate again and the process is repeated.

Weather is caused by the meridional transportation (Poleward transportation) of energy and the incoming solar radiation which is unevenly received by the Earth's surface.

Energy has tendancy of moving from higher energy to lower energy (like holding one side of an iron bar with hands and burning the other side in the fire, you are going to slowly feel the burn).

The transportation of heat on Earth could be done by Earth's curst, ocean, and atmosphere. The major medium for the heat transportation on Earth will be ocean and atmosphere. Due to all these balance of heat on Earth, we have weather.

Weather is the current state of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is always in a state of chaos and weather happens as a result of the atmosphere trying to balance itself from an unbalanced state.

Yet litte was understood adout the Complex,atmospheric phenomena that create weather until fairly recintly.

How long does it take for weather to change?

Weather can change within minutes to hours due to factors like winds, cloud cover, and incoming weather systems. However, some weather patterns can persist for days or even longer. Rapid changes are more common in areas with dynamic weather systems.


What is a sudden change in weather caused by?

A sudden change in weather can be caused by a variety of factors, such as the movement of air masses, the influence of weather fronts, or the occurrence of severe weather phenomena like thunderstorms or tornadoes. Other factors, like topography or proximity to large bodies of water, can also contribute to sudden weather changes.


Weather includes daily changes in weather conditions Name three conditions that change daily?

Temperature, precipitation (rain, snow), and wind speed are three weather conditions that change daily.


What is the instrument used to detect a change in atmosphere pressure which usually signals a change in weather QUICK I NEED the answer sooon?

A barometer is used to detect changes in atmospheric pressure, which can signal a change in weather. It measures the pressure exerted by the atmosphere and can provide an indication of incoming weather systems.


Does earth's atmosphere affect weather?

Yes, Earth's atmosphere plays a crucial role in the weather. It helps regulate temperature through the greenhouse effect, contains water vapor which forms clouds and precipitation, and influences wind patterns that drive weather systems. Changes in atmospheric conditions can result in different weather patterns.
