  1. What is Weather? By: Christopher Taitano

  2. Weather Weather. Weather is cause by several factors in the atmosphere. The atmosphere factors that interact to cause weather are heat energy, air pressure, winds, and moisture.

  3. Energy The sun’s energy that is absorbed by the earth is spread throughout the atmosphere in three basic ways: condensation, convection, and radiation.

  4. Carbon dioxide water vapor,and other gases in the atmosphere absorb the infrared rays, forming a kind of “heat blanket” around the earth. Greenhouse Effect

  5. Weather varies The greatest heating is were the sun rays strike the earth. The suns rays hit the earth at a 90 degree angle all year. The north and south pole are the coldest places in the world.
