What is the definition of PRECIPITATION?

• Any form of water that falls to Earth's surface from the clouds; includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

• The measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface.

• The horizontal movement of air, caused by differences in air pressure.

• The measure of the transparency of the atmosphere.

What is the definition of WEATHER?

• The weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.

• A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

• The condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a certain time/place, including temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, and visibility.

• The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount needed to reach saturation.
