What I learned in science so far

In topic 1 I learned about air pressure,the suns rays and the ways it effecs our lives. I alresdy knew that air pressure was pressure on us caused by the weight of the air, but I didn't know that it changed as you traveled higher or lower in the atmosphere.The suns light is not just light, it is also heat.The suns solar rays are more concentrated in some places, like the equator and less concentrated then others, like the north and south poles. Incoming solar radiation or insolation for shortis when the suns rays are heading towards Earth. For instance if you leave a chocolate bar out on the equator, it will probably melt, but if it is at the north pole it might not melt.

In topic 2 I learned about the atmosphere and weather. Water can enter the atmosphere 2 ways, transpiration and evaporation. Evaporation is when water gets hot enough toturn into a gas and enter the atmosphere from water. Transpiration is when plants release water into the atmosphere.Weather is whats happening in one part of the atmosphere at any given time.There are 4 types of precipitation hail, rain, sleet and snow. If it is a rain cloud it will have the prefix nimbo- on it like nimbostratus cloud.

In topic 3 I learned about the water cycle. There are 6 steps in the water cycle, evaporation, condensation, transpiration, precipitation, runoff and groundwater. Precipitation is rain, snow, sleet or hail. Evaporation is when water changes to gas. Transpiration is when plants release water into the air. Condensation is when water changes in to a liquid. Runoff is water that runs on the surface of the Earth. Groundwater is water underground.

That is what I learned in science so far.
