📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🌡️ Temperature: Measures how hot or cold something is. We use thermometers to measure temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
• 🌧️ Precipitation: Any form of water falling from the sky, like rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
• 💨 Wind: Moving air. We describe wind by its speed and direction. An anemometer measures wind speed, and a wind vane shows wind direction.
• ☁️ Clouds: Formed when water vapor in the air condenses. Different types of clouds tell us different things about the weather. For example, cumulonimbus clouds often bring thunderstorms.
• ☀️ The Water Cycle: The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It includes evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
