What is weather?

• The four main components which cause weather are
  the Sun, the atmosphere, water vapour and the
  wind.
• These all work together, spreading the Suns heat
  around the world and making clouds, rain and
  snow.
• Weather is an endless cycle of events.

Where does it happen?

• The atmosphere is like a giant blanket of air
  around the Earth.
• It is divided into layers. Weather happens in the
  troposphere, the layer directly above the ground.
