In your own words, briefly highlight the differences between absolute and relative humidity:

In general, what are the three key ‘ingredients’ (conditions) necessary for cloud formation / precipitation?

In your own words, explain the difference between weather and climate:

The dew point temperature, sometimes called the saturation point, is the temperature at which water vapor condenses into liquid water as it cools. How does this concept relate to absolute humidity, relative humidity, and cloud formation?

Christmas (Winter Solstice) , Easter (Spring Equinox) and Father's Day (Summer Solstice)

sun is responsible for all weather on earth.

Differences in air pressure causes wind. (horizontal movement of air on earth.)

The sun heating the earth’s surface also creates vertical motion through currents this is caused by the difference in high and low pressure systems by descending and ascending air.

Nitrogen and Oxygen, make up 99% of the volume of air.

In troposphere all weather on earth occured.

Absolute humidity is the measure of water vapor i.e., moisture in the air, regardless of temperature.

Relative humidity also measures water vapor but comparative to the temperature of the air. It is expressed as the amount of water vapor in the air in terms of percentage of the total amount that could be held at its current temperature

Ingredients for cloud formations are

    water
    dust particularistic and
    change in pressure and temperature .

Weather is the conditions of the atmosphere over a short period of time. Climate is behavior of atmosphere over relatively long periods of time.
