our weather.
the air to move.
the energy that warms the air.
is not warmed evenly.

Weather changes are due to the sun. The sun provides energy. The sun energy raises the temperature of air on earth. The air heats
unevenly. The uneven warming causes air to move. This process causes our weather.
Meteorologists study weather. They study air masses, pressure systems, humidity and temperature to predict weather.

Almost all weather begins because of the sun. The sun provides the energy. The energy raises temperatures on earth. It raises
temperatures on earth unevenly. The uneven warming causes the movement of air. Combining sun energy, air movement and the
rotating earth gives you a weather machine!
Meteorologists study weather. They observe weather conditions and patterns. Weather forecasts are only an educated guess. By
studying air masses, pressure systems, humidity and temperature, meteorologists can predict weather with good results.
