Changes

[[Surface]] temperature [[differences]] in turn cause [[pressure]] differences. Higher altitudes are cooler than lower altitudes due to differences in compressional [[heat]]ing. Weather [[forecasting]] is the [[application]] of [[science]] and [[technology]] to [[predict]] the [[state]] of the [[atmosphere]] for a [[future]] time and a given location. The atmosphere is a [[chaotic]] system, so small changes to one part of the system can [[grow]] to have large effects on the system as a [[whole]]. Human attempts to [[control]] the weather have occurred throughout human [[history]], and there is [[evidence]] that human activity such as [[agriculture]] and industry has inadvertently modified weather [[patterns]].

[[Studying]] how the weather works on other planets has been helpful in [[understanding]] how weather works on Earth. A famous landmark in the [[Solar System]][http://en.w ikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Red_Spot, Jupiter's Great Red Spot], is an anticyclonic storm known to have existed for at least 300 years. However, weather is not limited to planetary bodies. A [[star]]'s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona corona] is constantly being lost to [[space]], creating what is essentially a very thin [[atmosphere]] throughout the [[Solar System]]. The [[movement]] of [[mass]] ejected from the [[Sun]] is known as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_wind solar wind].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather]
