Weather Causes of weather
Weather happens because different parts of the Earth get different amounts of heat from the Sun. The equator gets the most heat because the Sun shines straight down on it, while the poles get the least heat because the Sun shines on it from a low angle. Warmer air is lighter than cooler air and goes higher in the sky. Water can come with the air and when it cools, the water can go from a gas to a liquid through condensation. Then the water can fall from the sky as rain or snow. After the air goes into the air, it gets colder and goes back towards the ground. Because the air lost its water before, it is dry when it comes back to the ground. As the Earth turns, air moves.
