Basic Concepts

In a nutshell: Weather changes every day, and seasons change throughout the year.

## What Is Weather? Weather is what the sky and air feel like at a certain time. It can be sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy, or snowy. - **Sunny:** The sun is shining brightly. - **Rainy:** Water falls from clouds. - **Cloudy:** The sky is covered by clouds. - **Windy:** The air moves and can blow things around. - **Snowy:** Frozen water falls from the sky. ## The Four Seasons Every year has four seasons: spring, summer, fall (autumn), and winter. Each season has different weather and changes in nature. - **Spring:** Flowers bloom, and it gets warmer. - **Summer:** Days are hot, and plants grow tall. - **Fall:** Leaves turn colors and fall off trees. - **Winter:** It's cold, and it may snow. ## Why Weather and Seasons Matter Knowing about weather helps us dress the right way and plan activities, like going swimming in summer or wearing coats in winter.
