Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather processes and forecasting. Meteorological phenomena are observable weather events which illuminate and are explained by the science of meteorology. Those events are bound by the variables that exist in Earth's atmosphere. They are temperature, pressure, water vapor, and the gradients and interactions of each variable, and how they change in time. The majority of Earth's observed weather is located in the troposphere.

One of the answerers asked what this has to do with Astronomy and Space. Well, meteors (which is the flash of light we see when meteoroids enter the atmosphere) were once thought to be atmospheric phenomena. It was only comparatively recently that it was proven to be related to space rocks. Hence they are called meteors, and that is the connection (intended or not) to Astronomy and Space.

Is the study of the atmosphere. Meteorologist is a person who has a job that you can screw up and be wrong at time and again but still not get fired.

Do you also want to know the advantages and disadvantages of meteorologists?
