Explanation:
The three components that combine to influence and change weather are temperature, air pressure, and precipitation. Temperature refers to how hot or cold the atmosphere is at a given place and time. It is largely influenced by the Sun’s heating of the Earth’s surface. Temperature can be measured in two ways - the more commonly used Celsius scale, or the Fahrenheit scale. Air pressure is the pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere. A change in air pressure can be an indicator that a change in weather is coming, so it is an important component to monitor. Precipitation is water that falls back to Earth’s surface. Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are common types of precipitation. The type of precipitation that falls depends on the temperature of the air that the water falls through
