There must be more than saying "IT is lovely outside." What is the "IT"? You would know that it is outside which is the IT, but what happens if it was something else like:
-Sun
-Clouds
-Sky
-Birds
-People
and more. There is alot of meanings to this word.

"It" can be a third-person singular pronoun referring to something of unknown or no gender. It draws its specific reference from the context.
As in your example, "it" can also be an expletive subject.
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to find out with this question, but if you really want to know about "it", try studying a little linguistics. It just might blow your mind! (And I mean that in a good way.)
