Name all of the precipitation types
What is Sleet- Starts off as a liquid then passes through a layer of freezing temperatures and forms small ice droplets Hail-Form in cumulonimbus when water freezes and layers around a small nucleus of ice Snow-forms as a solid because air below is freezing Rain - drop of water that falls from a cloud

Air pressure is measure by a ___
What is barometer

How does a cloud form?
What is form as warm air is forced upward and cools. Then water vapor con-denses

What is the difference between Relative Humidity and Humidity?
What is Humidity, often just referred to as 'the humidity', is a measure of the actual amount of water vapor in a particular sample of air: measured as a partial pressure (vapor pressure/hPa or millibars); a mixing ratio (gm water vapour/kg of dry air), dew point etc. Relative Humidity - expressed commonly as a percentage value, is the ratio of the actual amount of water vapor present in a sample (the Humidity) to that amount that would be needed to saturate that particular sample.
