Who studies the weather?
People called meteorologists study the world’s weather and the changes in the atmosphere that produce our weather. They observe and analyze the weather, and try to understand the processes that lead to changing weather conditions. The study of weather is known as meteorology.

Why does rain fall?
Water evaporates from the Earth’s surface, condenses into water droplets and falls back down to the ground as rain. Heat from the Sun causes water to evaporate from the land, from rivers and lakes and from the sea. The water vapour rises with the warm air, and eventually reaches high altitudes where it cools and condenses into water droplets, forming clouds. The droplets grow larger until they are too heavy to stay in the cloud and they fall as rain. Rain usually falls from the largest and darkest clouds, which contain the most water vapour.
