Meteorology is the science of the atmosphere and the variations in atmospheric conditions that produce weather.
Meteorologists are the people who study weather.
Throughout history, people have been fascinated and awed by the power of nature. As a result, people have tried to predict the weather so that they might control it. Ben Franklin made some of the first recorded weather forecasts in Poor Richard's Almanack . If you have cable television, you already know that the Weather Channel broadcasts nothing but weather reports, twenty-four hours a day. Clearly, people care about the weather.
