Is the saying the higher the clouds the better the weather true

High clouds indicate the dry air and high pressure of fair weather.

so it is true

Earth's Precession

What is atmometer

It measures water evaporation.

It measures water evaporation.

It measures water evaporation.

It measures water evaporation.

It measures water evaporation.

It measures water evaporation.

A tropical depression can become more powerful by

A tropical depression can become more powerful by gaining energy from the moisture that evaporates from warm water, and be developing a more well-defined circulation.

In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect makes winds

bend to the right of their motion

A front forms where two of different temperature meet each other

air masses

Clouds form when water vapor in the atmosphere cools to

Its Dew Point

What is the dew point

The dew point is the temperature at which the air will become completely saturated. It is determined by the amount of moisture in the air, and the temperature. Fog will form when the temperature is close to the dew point.

Air conditioning is the perfect control system to maintain a steady atmospheric humidity in a unit. The atmospheric humidity is the quantity of water contained in the air in the form of vapours. When the amount of moisture held by air has reached the maximum by a giving temp, the air is said to b saturated and it is also called 'dew point'
It is the temperature of air at which the air can no longer contain all the moisture in it, and the moisture precipitates out as dew.
The definition of the word dew point is "the atmospheric temperature below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form."

What is spaced closely together on a map to show there is a drastic temperature change over a distance

What condition is required for all thunderstorms

For starters, the thing you will need for all storms is Low Air Pressure. So you will always need this for all thunderstorms.
