Weather
By Shannon Noble
Precipitation
 This is the general name for any water
falling from the sky. This could be rain,
sleet, snow, etc.
Rain
 Rain is liquid form of
precipitation. Rain can
be the cause of many
natural disasters, but
can also be the source
of growth in the
environment, as it
waters plants and
helps them grow.
Snow
 Snow is a solid form of
precipitation. Many
times, snow can be fun
to enjoy. But
avalanches can occur,
and people can be
buried under the snow.
The Sun
 The Sun is our source
of light. The Sun is
always shining, but
because our earth is
rotating, we cannot
see the Sun all the
time. The Sun is
actually a star.
Who Predicts the Weather?
 A meteorologist is a scientist who studies
and predicts the weather. You can see
these people on TV, talking about what your
day and week of weather is going to look
like.
