100
A type of precipitation.
What is snow, sleet, hail, or rain?
200
When snow, sleet, hail, or rain fall.
What is precipitation?
200
Scientists also measure these to predict weather (p. 228)

200
A factor that affects climate by providing heat.
What is sunlight?
200
This measure the amount of precipitation.
What is a rain gauge?
200
Cold air mixed with water vapor causes this.
What is condensation?
300
When cool air mixes with water vapor.
What is condensation?
300
Both of these also affect weather. (p. 228-229)

What is weather is in a single moment and climate is the pattern of weather over time?
500
Weather is the air in a single moment and climate is the pattern of weather over time.
