Weather forecast There are two ways for weather forcasting: Short-range forecasting Meteorologists can make somewhat longer-term forecasts (those for 6, 12, 24, or even 48 hours) with considerable skill because they are able to measure and predict atmospheric conditions for large areas by computer. Using models that apply their accumulated expert knowledge quickly, accurately, and … Read more
Elements of Climate and weather Climate is decided by a region’s climate system. A climate system has few major components: the Atmosphere, the layer, the cryosphere, and the land surface. The atmosphere is that the most variable a part of the climate system. The composition and movement of gases encompassing the planet will change … Read more
An Atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding a planet or other material body, that is held in place by the gravity of that body. Many of the planets in this Solar System have atmospheres, but none that we know of have an atmosphere quite like ours – one that can support life. The … Read more
Atmospheric humidity, which is the amount of water vapour or moisture in the air, is another leading climatic element, as is Precipitation. All forms of precipitation, including drizzle, rain, snow, ice crystals, and hail, are produced as a result of the condensation of atmospheric moisture that forms clouds in which some of the … Read more

Clouds are classified into ten basic types, based on their appearance and height in the AtmosphereAtmosphere. The ten basic cloud types are: Cirrus Cirrocumulus Cirrostratus Altocumulus Altostratus Nimbostratus Stratocumulus Stratus Cumulus Cumulonimbus Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds that are made of ice crystals. They are typically found at high altitudes, between 16,000 and 40,000 … Read more
