Some of these are priceless, a few weather-based exam answers from
youngsters...

Richard

You can listen to thunder after lightning and tell how close you came
to getting hit. If you don't hear it, you got hit, so never mind.

Rainbows are just to look at, not to really understand.

South America has cold summers and hot winters, but somehow they still
manage.

Most books now say our sun is a star. But it still knows how to change
back into a sun in the daytime.

Water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. There are 180
degrees between freezing and boiling because there are 180 degrees
between north and south.

A vibration is a motion that cannot make up its mind which way it
wants to go.

There is a tremendous weight pushing down on the center of the Earth
because of so much population stomping around up there these days.

Vacuums are nothings. We only mention them to let them know we know
they're there.

Some oxygen molecules help fires burn while others help make water, so
sometimes it's brother against brother.

Some people can tell what time it is by looking at the sun. But I have
never been able to make out the numbers.

We say the cause of perfume disappearing is evaporation. Evaporation
gets blamed for a lot of things people forget to put the top on.

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists
solutions are things that are still all mixed up.

In looking at a drop of water under a microscope, we find there are
twice as many H's as O's.

Clouds are high flying fogs.

I am not sure how clouds get formed. But the clouds know how to do it,
and that is the important thing.

Clouds just keep circling the earth around and around. And around.
There is not much else to do.

Water vapor gets together in a cloud. When it is big enough to be
called a drop, it does.

Humidity is the experience of looking for air and finding water.

We keep track of the humidity in the air so we won't drown when we
breathe.

Rain is often known as soft water, oppositely known as hail.

Rain is saved up in cloud banks.

A blizzard is when it snows sideways.

A hurricane is a breeze of a bigly size.

A monsoon is a French gentleman.

Thunder is a rich source of loudness.

Isotherms and isobars are even more important than their names sound.

It is so hot in some places that the people there have to live in
other places.

The wind is like the air, only pushier.
