troposphere

The layer of the Earth’s atmosphere that contains the ozone

stratosphere

Sun The warming of the Earth caused by the atmosphere trapping thermal energy from the Sun

Greenhouse effect

huge body of air A huge body of air that has similar temperature and moisture

Air mass

The border where two air masses meet

Front

Wispy, high-altitude clouds that are made up of ice crystals *fair weather

cirrus

Puffy cotton-ball Puffy cotton-ball clouds that form when water droplets condense at middle altitudes

cumulus

Towering dark rain Towering dark rain clouds with a nimbus, or halo, of gray-white *thunderstorms, rain

cumulonimbus

Dark gray clouds Dark gray clouds that form a low layer and sometimes brings light rain or snow showers *blanket

stratus

Instrument that measures air pressure

barometer

The amount of water vapor in the air

Humidity
