What is a non-moving front called
a Stationary Front
400
This device measures temperature.
a Thermometer
500
The three main cloud types
Cirrus, Cumulous, Stratus
500
The sun heats up water, and that water evaporates. Then the water in the atmosphere condenses and forms clouds. When too much water is in the atmosphere it get expelled by precipitating down to Earth, then that water goes and gets evaporated and the cycle continues.
