A new twist exists to selling your home as a FSBO (For Sale by Owner), and it’s no surprise either – the internet. Just as intriguing is your option of the plethora of websites that are now popping up all over the internet, the “we list site”. Devilishly enterprising individuals have created internet websites that offer a FSBO the opportunity to look totally professional when selling their home.

Dare I say it? Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. It's a common saying and one that is at least partially true. Weather is a subject of nearly constant conversation and speculation. Millions search the internet every month looking for more information about local weather, world weather, and even weather disasters. Everyone wants to know--do I need an umbrella today? Will it rain for the big game this weekend?

he fact that we have weather at all is dependent on the existence and nature of Earth's atmosphere. A unique feature of the blanket of air that envelopes our planet is the presence of water vapor, and a temperature profile that makes it possible for this water to exist in three forms: gas, liquid, and solid.

Weather is what results when a huge complex system (the Earth's atmosphere) reacts to the effects of an outside source (the sun), while encountering random factors (friction with geography) and limiting factors (gravity).

Humans have always sought to understand and explain our world. Weather and climate are no exception. As our understanding of weather patterns and longer term climate patterns has increased, we have devised a classification scheme to summarize planetary climate zones.

Countries around the world invest in weather research, thinking that the dividends of accurate forecasts will far outweigh the costs. The more industrialized nations of North America, Europe, Asia, and Australasia have put together highly advanced weather services.

Without the atmosphere that envelopes the Earth, we would not have weather. Indeed, we would almost certainly not exist. The atmosphere contains oxygen that is necessary for life. It also contains water vapor, which is a crucial component of weather.

It has been stated elsewhere in this series of articles on weather that if the Earth had no atmosphere, then we would have no weather. Just for the sake of argument, imagine an Earth with an atmosphere like we have today, but without a sun.

Weather results from the irregular interaction of the sun with Earth's atmosphere. Significant variations in the amount of solar energy reaching our atmosphere occur as the Earth spins on its axis and, at the same time, completes its annual journey around the sun.

Weather is a result of the interaction between heat from the sun and the Earth's atmosphere. The uneven heating of the atmosphere coupled with the atmosphere's drive to maintain equilibrium results in the movement of large air masses, leading to different types of weather.
