| density | the mass of something given its volume |
| pressure | the force on a given area |
| conduction | heat transfer through material (by way of particles) |
| convection | warm air (or water) rising, cool air (or water) falling |
| radiation | electromagnetic energy that travels as waves |
| albedo | the reflectivity of an object |
| greenhouse effect | the warming of the atmosphere by the trapping of infrared radiation (heat) |
| absolute humidity | the total amount of water vapor in the air, measured in grams per cubic meter |
| relative humidity | the amount of water vapor in the air compared to air at saturation |
| saturation | when the rate of condensation in the atmostpere equals the rate of evaporation in the atmosphere |
