By measureing the humidity in the air
Pine cones can help predict weather as they respond to changes in humidity. When the air is dry, pine cones open up to release their seeds; when it is damp, they close up to protect the seeds. By observing how pine cones behave, one can infer the humidity levels and possibly predict weather changes.
well seed cones are very similar to pine cones they both haves seeds and pine needles... you cant see the needles cause theyre tiny.
Yes, pine cones contain seeds that are released when the cones open. Each scale on a pine cone holds two seeds, which are dispersed once the cones mature and open.
A squirrel doesn't actually eat a pine cone. It does, however, eat pine nuts, and these are hidden within the cones. The number of pine nuts a squirrel will eat will vary, but most squirrels that live in pine forests are frequently looking for more, either to eat or to store.
The Coulter pine (Pinus coulteri), found in California and Mexico, produces the largest pine cones in the world. These pine cones can reach up to 15-20 inches (38-51 cm) long and weigh up to 10 pounds (4.5 kg).
pine cones become varous sizes

No, it does not because the only thing that happens is, when the pine cones come off the tree when its raining hard they do not get damaged or anything.
pine cones
pine cones are among the most reliable of all natural weather indicators. in dry weather the scales dry up and open out. if they start to close up it is a sure sigh that wet weather is on the way
People once used objects like seaweed, wool yarn, and pine cones to predict the weather. How might these objects have helped predict the weather?
Roots, trunk, branches, twigs , needles and cones.
Pine cones are where the seeds for new pine trees develop.
The pine cones that you are familiar with are probably female pine cones. You probably have never noticed male pine cones because they are much smaller and don't look much like the female pine cones. Male pine cones are much smaller and produce pollen grains. Female pine cones contain the egg. The pollen is carried from the male pine cones to the female pine cones by the wind.
rats do not eat pine cones
The Austrian pine Pinus nigra carries cones that bear the seeds, therefore, no cones, no seed.
All conifers carry cones. that's where they get their name. Only Pine trees carry pine cones.
