The weight of a column of air pressing down on an area, impacts winds is

• Air pressure

• Wind direction

• Visibility

• Temperature

The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, high humidity can make the air feel warmer is

• Condensation

• Humidity

• Evaporation

• Temperature

How hot or cold the air is

• Visibility

• Humidity

• Temperature

• Precipitation

The direction a wind is moving, created by dierences in air pressure

• Visibility

• Air pressure

• Wind speed

• Wind direction

How fast the wind is moving, faster winds can make the air feel colder

• Wind Speed

• Wind Direction

• Air Pressure

• Visibility

How far ahead that you can see; lower when there is precipitation, clouds, fog, etc.

• Air pressure

• Condensation

• Visibility

• Fog

Liquid water is heated up and turns into water vapor, rises into the atmosphere

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

Water vapor cools down to become liquid water, forms clouds

• Precipitation

• Precipitation

• Condensation

water falls back down to Earth as rain, sleet, snow, or hail

• Precipitation

• Condensation

• Evaporation

formed over land (dry, low humidity) and cold

• Continental Polar

• Continental Tropical

• Maritime polar

• Maritime tropical
