Solution

a) The Highest day temperature and lowest night temperature of the day.

Explanation

The highest temperature of a day is termed as a ‘maximum temperature’. The lowest temperature of a day is termed as a ‘minimum temperature’. The day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere at a place with respect to elements like humidity, temperature, wind speed, rainfall, etc. is called the weather of that place.

  • The temperature of a place is measured using a Thermometer. The highest and lowest temperature of a place is measured using Maximum Minimum Thermometer (MMT).
  • All the changes that happen in the weather are made by the sun. Because the sun has a very high temperature and it is a huge sphere of hot gases. It is the main source of heat and light for the earth. It is even the primary source of energy hence affects the weather.
