What is the source of all weather and climate?
• The sun!• The sun is the source of
all heat and energy. The sun heats air, which causes it to rise and change temperature.
• Remember… the tilt of the Earth in relation to the sun causes the season.

What causes the seasons?
1. The tilt of the Earth in relation to the sun
2. The tilt causes direct/indirect sunlight.
How was this demonstrated in class last time?

How is temperature measure?
It is measured with a thermometer in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. In the US, temperatures are often in Fahrenheit, which is where water
freezes at 32 degrees. In Celsius, water freezes at 0 degrees.

Difference between weather and climate
• Weather– A short period of time– Short term changes in
the atmosphere
• Colorado Weather: Today it is sunny with a chance of rain. The temperature is 62 degrees.
• Climate– Long period of time– Long term weather pattern
of a particular area– A PATTERN of weather
• Colorado (Fort Collins) Climate: dry winters with some snow, windy springs, low humidity winters, pleasant falls. Semi-arid. Highly changeable weather.
