10. What causes weather? L/O: to investigate how the Sun and water vapour cause the weather Starter: Below are five facts about the weather, rank them in order from 1 to 5 Weather is the state of the atmosphere around us. (Warm ? wet ? windy ?) It can change from hour to hour. The main causes of weather are the sun, and water vapour. Climate is the ‘average’ weather in a place – what it is usually like there. Climate changes from place to place, because of factors such as distance from the equator, and from the sea. The Earth can be divided into different climate regions.
