  • 2. 

    Measure of warmth or cold

    • Sunny

    • Temperature

    • Snow

    Correct Answer
    A. Temperature
    Explanation
    The word "temperature" is the correct answer because it is a measure of warmth or cold. In the given context, the other words such as "sunny" and "snow" are related to weather conditions, but only "temperature" directly refers to the concept of measuring warmth or coldness.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    State of the atmosphere

    • Weather

    • Snow

    • Sunny

    Correct Answer
    A. Weather
    Explanation
    The given answer, "weather," is the correct explanation for the statement "state of the atmosphere." Weather refers to the current conditions and state of the atmosphere, including factors such as temperature, precipitation, wind, and cloud cover. It encompasses various conditions like snow, rain, sunny, cloudy, etc. Therefore, weather is the appropriate term to describe the state of the atmosphere.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Frozen precipitation

    • Clouds

    • Wind

    • Snow

    Correct Answer
    A. Snow
    Explanation
    Snow is the correct answer because it is a type of frozen precipitation that falls from clouds when the temperature is below freezing. Wind can help to blow the snowflakes around, but it is not the main factor that causes snowfall. Snow is formed when water vapor in the air freezes into ice crystals and then combines to form snowflakes. Therefore, snow is the most appropriate answer based on the given information.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Characterized by high amounts of sun

    • Sunny

    • Partly sunny

    • Wind

    Correct Answer
    A. Sunny
    Explanation
    The term "characterized by high amounts of sun" suggests that the weather condition being described is sunny. This means that there is a significant presence of sunlight, with few or no clouds in the sky.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Air that flows in relation to the Earth's surface

    • Clouds

    • Wind

    • Snow

    Correct Answer
    A. Wind
    Explanation
    Wind is the correct answer because it refers to the air that flows in relation to the Earth's surface. Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which creates differences in air pressure. Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, resulting in the movement of wind. Wind plays a crucial role in weather patterns, influencing the formation of clouds and the distribution of precipitation, including snow.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Presence of both sun and clouds

    • Wind

    • Weather

    • Partly sunny

    Correct Answer
    A. Partly sunny
    Explanation
    The answer "partly sunny" suggests that the weather conditions mentioned in the question include both sun and clouds. The term "partly sunny" implies that there are some clouds in the sky, but the sun is still visible. This indicates a partially clear sky with intermittent cloud coverage. The presence of wind is not directly related to the answer, as wind can occur in various weather conditions. Therefore, the correct answer is "partly sunny" based on the given information.

    Measure amount of prec

    • Anemometer

    • Rain gauge

    • Wind vane

    Correct Answer
    A. Rain gauge
    Explanation
    A rain gauge is used to measure the amount of precipitation, specifically rainfall. It is a device that collects and measures the amount of rainwater that falls over a certain period of time. This information is important for various purposes such as agriculture, weather forecasting, and water resource management. The other options mentioned, anemometer and wind vane, are instruments used to measure wind speed and wind direction respectively, but they are not used to measure precipitation.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Measures how strong or weak the wind is

    • Weather

    • Wind vane

    • Anemometer

    Correct Answer
    A. Anemometer
    Explanation
    The anemometer is a device used to measure the strength or weakness of the wind. It is specifically designed to calculate the speed and direction of the wind. This makes it an essential tool in weather forecasting and monitoring. Unlike a wind vane, which only indicates the direction of the wind, the anemometer provides a more accurate and quantitative measurement of wind speed. Therefore, the anemometer is the correct answer as it directly relates to the measurement of wind strength.

    Collection of water droplets or ice crystal in the air

    • Clouds

    • Snow

    • Sunny

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Clouds
    A. Snow
    Explanation
    Clouds are formed when water droplets or ice crystals in the air condense and come together. These droplets or crystals can be seen as visible masses in the sky. Snow, on the other hand, is formed when water vapor freezes into ice crystals in the atmosphere and falls to the ground. Both clouds and snow are related to the presence of water droplets or ice crystals in the air. The term "sunny" does not fit this description as it refers to a weather condition characterized by clear skies and abundant sunlight.
