Importance
Much of this will be on your aviation exam. Much of this is basic information that you'll want to know as an adult pilot or not. Pilot especially though.
Oh ya, did I mention your exam is first block next week with me?

Humidity is the amount of water vapour in a given space of air.
Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid.
Sublimation is when a gas turns into a solid without becoming a liquid.
Dew Point: The temperature at which the air will become saturated. Clouds will generally form.
Relative Humidity: RH is how much water vapour (moisture) there is in a space of air compared to the most it could hold.
Confirmation:
Diurnal Variation: Day is hotter than night.
Seasonal Variation: Summer>Fall>Spring>Winter
Confirmation:
Confirmation:
Snow Pellets: Like mini-snowballs. They are hail that hasn't formed properly.
Precipitaion is anything weather falling from the sky.
Relative Humidity: RH is how much water vapour (moisture) there is in a space of air compared to the most it could hold.
Drizzle: These are itty-bitty, light drops of water the gently float to earth.
Rain: Falling water.
Heat causes air to expand. It takes up more space, and can hold more moisture. But temperature doesn't increase moisture, so the percentage of how much space the water takes up goes down.
Snow: Frozen falling white water.
Ice Prisms: Microscopic icicles that form in cold stable air. Water freezes, but doesn't yet weigh enough to fall.
Ice Pellets: Frozen raindrops. They bounce on impact!
Hail: Ice pellets that get pushed back up into the cloud and get bigger and bigger until they are too fat to fly.

Temperature is a reading of how much heat is present. Air has temperature too, but it isn't heated by the sun.
The sun heats the earth, and the earth releases heat into the air. This is called "heating from below."
