What conditions were better for having a rainy day? The surrounding air temp was the same before both storms.

Warmer air parcel=more evaporation=more energy to lose=bigger cloud

What is one reason it rained on Day 2?

It was warmer and caused more evaporation so the rising air was humid.

Does this produce a lot of rain? Air parcel temp 25 C, surrounding air temp -25, water vapor medium, H surrounding L?

Yes, all the conditions are right for a lot of rain.

Weather and climate are similar but different. What is weather?

Current conditions outside right now.

Warm air rises because

it is less dense than cold air.

The wind speed bars tell us that the wind is blowing

From the northwest to the southeast at 20 knots.

What conditions were better for having a rainy day? The surrounding air temp was the same before both storms.
Colder air parcel=more evaporation=more energy=bigger cloud
Warmer air parcel=more evaporation=more energy to lose=bigger cloud
Colder air parcel=less evaporation=less energy=smaller or no cloud
Warmer air parcel=less evaporation=less energy to lose=bigger cloud

What is one reason it rained on Day 2?
There was a high pressure system above the city.
It was warmer and caused more evaporation so the rising air was humid.

Weather and climate are similar but different. What is weather?
A pattern of weather that occurs in an area over many years.
Current conditions outside right now.
The breaking down of rocks, soil, and minerals.
A pattern of weather that occurs in an area over many days.
11
Warm air rises because
the molecules inside are barely moving.
the molecules inside are highly attracted to each other.
it has less kinetic energy than cold air.
it is less dense than cold air.
