Answer Key

#	Answer
1	Weather is the condition of the air outside at a certain time and place.
2	Weather can describe temperature, wind, rain, clouds, or sunshine.
3	A thermometer measures temperature.
4	A wind vane shows wind direction.
5	An anemometer measures wind speed.
6	Clouds can give clues about whether rain, snow, or fair weather may happen.
7	Clear skies often mean sunny or fair weather.
8	Precipitation is water that falls from the sky, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
9	Rain and snow are two types of precipitation.
10	Weather is what happens in the atmosphere over a short time, while climate is the usual weather in a place over a long time.
11	Meteorologists use weather instruments to measure and record weather conditions accurately.
12	Snow may fall when the temperature is very low.
13	A barometer measures air pressure.
14	Air pressure helps meteorologists predict changes in weather, such as storms or fair weather.
15	Dark clouds can show that moisture is building, and falling air pressure often means a storm may be coming.
16	Go indoors and stay away from windows and electrical appliances.
17	People should wear sunscreen to protect their skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.
18	Wind can move clouds, change how weather feels, and make it harder or easier to travel outdoors.
19	Water vapor cools down and changes into tiny water droplets that gather to form clouds.
20	Different places can have different temperatures, winds, and land features that affect how much rain they get.
21	The water cycle adds water vapor to the air and helps form clouds and precipitation, which are parts of weather.
22	A weather forecast can help families choose clothes, plan travel, and decide whether outdoor activities are safe.
23	A coastal area has more water nearby, which can affect humidity and temperature, while a desert is usually drier and hotter.
24	A storm or rain may come next because dropping air pressure, thicker clouds, and stronger wind often happen before bad weather.
25	A meteorologist could record temperature, air pressure, and cloud type. Temperature shows how warm or cold the air is, air pressure can help predict storms or clear weather, and cloud type can give clues about rain or fair weather.
