Choose Your Own Adventure: Meteorology

This week, we are meteorologists!  Meteorologists don’t study meteors—they study the atmosphere.  The atmosphere is a thin layer of gas that surrounds Earth.  The word “meteor” refers to things in the air. Meteorology includes the study of weather patterns, clouds, hurricanes, and tornadoes.  Meteorology is very important. Using radars and satellites, meteorologists work to predict, or forecast, the weather.
