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.
