Weather refers to various phenomenon that occur in the atmosphere of a planet. On Earth the regular events include wind, storm?s, rain? and snow, which occur particularly in the troposphere?, the lower part of the atmosphere. Weather is driven by energy from the sun, with key factors such as temperature, humidity?, [atmospheric pressure]?, [cloud cover]?, [wind speed]?, and elevation?.

Weather stations all around the world measure these conditions on a continuous basis. The weather system is an inherently chaotic system; practically this means that meterologists can only predict the weather a few days in the future.
