What is Climatology?

The state of the atmosphere when it contains the maximum amount of water vapor possible at a given temperature and pressure.

The percentage of water vapor in the air relative to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a given temperature.

The heating of the Earth by the sun causes daily changes in both the direction and speed of the wind. During the day, ground...
