| 00:09 | if you're like me , you know what your perfect | |
| 00:11 | day looks like weather wise , sunny , rainy , | |
| 00:14 | snowy , whatever , personally . I love it when | |
| 00:17 | it's cool and cloudy , like just cold enough to | |
| 00:19 | wear a sweater , you probably know that weather has | |
| 00:22 | something to do with how hot or cold it is | |
| 00:24 | outside , but really there's a lot more to it | |
| 00:27 | than just temperature . So grab your sunglasses , your | |
| 00:29 | rain boots and your most colorful scarf . Because today | |
| 00:32 | we're talking whether let's start with a big and pretty | |
| 00:35 | basic question , what exactly is whether , yeah , | |
| 00:42 | well , weather is the condition of the air or | |
| 00:45 | the atmosphere on our planet . But the thing is | |
| 00:47 | , even though there's only one atmosphere on earth , | |
| 00:50 | the weather isn't the same all over the world . | |
| 00:52 | There are many different factors that can change the atmosphere | |
| 00:55 | in a certain area and together they determine what the | |
| 00:58 | weather is like from one minute and from one place | |
| 01:00 | to the next . These factors include temperature , humidity | |
| 01:03 | , wind speed and direction and lots of other things | |
| 01:06 | . But when you're talking about the overall weather patterns | |
| 01:10 | from a certain region of the world , you're talking | |
| 01:13 | about the areas , climate weather is the minute by | |
| 01:16 | minute changes in the atmosphere . Climate is what the | |
| 01:18 | weather is like over a long period of time in | |
| 01:21 | a specific area . Now the weather is constantly changing | |
| 01:25 | all the time every day . Think of the weather | |
| 01:27 | as being like that . One friend of yours who | |
| 01:29 | can never make up their mind about what movie they | |
| 01:31 | want to see or what restaurant they want to go | |
| 01:33 | to just because it's beautiful and sunny outside when you | |
| 01:35 | wake up , that doesn't mean you won't need an | |
| 01:37 | umbrella before the day's over and raining is just one | |
| 01:40 | of the things that weather can do reign of course | |
| 01:42 | , is just a form of precipitation or water that | |
| 01:45 | falls from the sky . It happens when droplets of | |
| 01:47 | water in the clouds . Or sometimes ice crystals get | |
| 01:49 | heavy enough in fall to the ground . If they're | |
| 01:51 | crystals , the warm air near the ground will melt | |
| 01:53 | them as they fall , forming liquid raindrops . But | |
| 01:57 | do you wanna build a snowman ? Another common form | |
| 02:00 | of precipitation is snow . Snow is just ice crystals | |
| 02:03 | that don't melt into liquid water as they fall . | |
| 02:05 | Another snow like form of precipitation is sleet . It's | |
| 02:08 | what happens when ice crystals fall toward the ground partly | |
| 02:10 | melt and then refreeze again . But other kinds of | |
| 02:13 | weather can be way more severe and the most common | |
| 02:15 | kind of extreme weather is a form . I'm sure | |
| 02:18 | you're familiar with thunderstorms . A thunderstorm can happen when | |
| 02:22 | strong winds make drops of water and pieces of ice | |
| 02:24 | collide and break apart inside a storm . This causes | |
| 02:27 | electrical energy to build up , which creates a little | |
| 02:30 | something called lightning . But all of this rain and | |
| 02:33 | snow and sleet I've been talking about , that's all | |
| 02:35 | just weather . And while weather can change in a | |
| 02:38 | few hours , a region's climate takes hundreds , thousands | |
| 02:41 | , even millions of years to change . So how | |
| 02:44 | can we better understand the difference between weather and climate | |
| 02:47 | ? How about we send Cartoon Sabrina on a little | |
| 02:50 | imaginary trip for a month . Mhm , mm . | |
| 02:54 | Okay , here she is at her destination , Yuma | |
| 02:58 | Arizona . Let's pretend it's the fifth of the month | |
| 03:01 | on this particular day where cartoon Sabrina is , it's | |
| 03:03 | warm , but very cloudy . And the light rain | |
| 03:05 | has been falling on her . Sorry me all day | |
| 03:08 | since clouds and rain are what the atmosphere has to | |
| 03:10 | offer on this particular spot at this moment and they | |
| 03:13 | can go away at any minute . Those conditions are | |
| 03:16 | , yep . The weather now , let's fast forward | |
| 03:18 | to the 10th of the month . Hello son . | |
| 03:21 | Looks like tiny me won't be needing an umbrella today | |
| 03:23 | . How about the 15th ? More sun the 20th | |
| 03:26 | . Still sunny the 25th . You guess that sonny | |
| 03:29 | with a chance of well sunny and finally on the | |
| 03:32 | 30th , the sun still shining little Sabrina . I | |
| 03:35 | hope you packed your sunscreen . So what does this | |
| 03:37 | quick time lapse of a month in Yuma ? Tell | |
| 03:39 | us , it tells us that Yuma Arizona is a | |
| 03:45 | pretty sunny place . In fact , on most days | |
| 03:47 | it's one of the sunniest cities on the whole planet | |
| 03:50 | . So the city's weather patterns existed before Mini me | |
| 03:54 | arrived and will continue after she leaves . In that | |
| 03:57 | case , you could say that huma has a sunny | |
| 03:58 | climate , even if it's weather on a certain given | |
| 04:00 | day happens to be rainy . Now , you know | |
| 04:03 | that weather is much more than just temperature . It's | |
| 04:05 | the condition of our planet's atmosphere and it's constantly changing | |
| 04:08 | . You also know that weather and climate are not | |
| 04:11 | the same thing . But I say the extreme stuff | |
| 04:14 | for last , the severe weather stuff that is , | |
| 04:16 | you'll have to tune in next time to learn more | |
| 04:18 | about tornadoes , hurricanes and blizzards . |
