Temperature depends on how much energy the air receives from the sun.
Sunbathing on a hot beach? You start sweating . Why?

The instrument used to measure air pressure?
Barometer

In a desert , there is hardly any water vapour in the air
What is the difference between Weather and Climate?

The principle behind the working of the thermometer?
Expansion of liquid when heated...liquid expands and rises in the thermometer.
