The movie defines weather as “the condition of the atmosphere at a certain place and time.” Use the illustration above to identify two parts of the atmosphere.

An illustrated landscape shown as cross-section. The lower part of the illustration shows land, water, and plant life. The upper part of the illustration (labeled "Atmosphere") shows sunlight, clouds, and rain.

In the illustration you described, two parts of the atmosphere that can be identified are:

  1. Clouds - These are a significant component of the atmosphere, representing water vapor and weather changes.

  2. Sunlight - Although not a physical part of the atmosphere, it is an essential element that interacts with atmospheric conditions.

(Note: The atmosphere itself consists primarily of air, but other options like soil, oceans, and tree roots do not pertain to the atmosphere directly.)
