Let’s take a look at some…Weather Instruments
![Page 14: “Weather”… You Like it or Not](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/56813b93550346895da4c4b7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Thermometer
An instrument
used to measure
temperature.
![Page 15: “Weather”… You Like it or Not](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/56813b93550346895da4c4b7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Hygrometer
An instrument
used to measure
humidity in the air.
![Page 16: “Weather”… You Like it or Not](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/56813b93550346895da4c4b7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HumidityThe amount of water vapor in the air is referred to
as humidity.
Humidity can be measured in a number of ways. By absolute humidity, specific humidity, and relative
humidity.
•Absolute and specific humidity measure the exact physical amount of water in the air.
•Relative humidity compares how much water is in the air with how much could be in the air . Relative humidity is the most common way that we measure humidity.

WOW! Learning all this information can make your mind a little cloudy.
So, let’s learn about clouds!

A cloud is a large collection of very tiny droplets of water or ice crystals. The droplets are so small and light
that they can float in the air.

High Clouds = Cirrus
CirrusCirrostratusCirrocumulus
Above 18,000 feet
Cirrus clouds are the most common of the high clouds. They are composed of ice and are thin,
wispy clouds blown in high winds into long streamers.

Middle Clouds =
Alto
AltostratusAltocumulus
6,500 feet - 18,000 feet
Altostratus clouds are gray or blue-gray mid level clouds composed of ice
crystals and water droplets.
