What is Weather?
The process by which a liquid change into a gas.
What is Evaporation?
The mixture of gases surrounding a planet.
What is Atmosphere?
The ability to make things change or move.
What is Energy?
Clouds can produce this, including rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
What is Precipitation?
Rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls from clouds onto the ground.

What is Transfer?
A cloud forms when water vapor cools in the troposphere. Which vocabulary word means liquid water droplets suspended in the air?
What is a Cloud?
Water as a gas.
What is Water Vapor?
Heat energy causes liquid water to become water vapor through this process.
What is Evaporation?
Weather happens in this layer closest to Earth.
What is the Troposphere?
Heat transfer can cause evaporation by adding this to water.
What is Energy?
When air stays mostly the same over time, it has this.
What is Stability?
The layer of the atmosphere closest to Earth, where weather happens.
What is the Troposphere?
This word means when something becomes different over time.
What is Change?
Air parcels move through this blanket of gases around Earth.
What is the Atmosphere?
Scientists use this to describe how hot or cold the air feels.
What is Temperature?
The movement of heat from one place to another is called this.
What is Transfer?
