Climate encompasses the statistics of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological elemental measurements in a given region over long periods. Climate can be contrasted to weather, which is the present condition of these elements and their variations over shorter periods.
A region's climate is generated by the climate system, which has five components: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, land surface, and biosphere.
The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, and altitude, as well as nearby water bodies and their currents. Climates can be classified according to the average and the typical ranges of different variables, most commonly temperature and precipitation. The most commonly used classification scheme was originally developed by Wladimir Köppen. The Thornthwaite system, in use since 1948, incorporates evapotranspiration along with temperature and precipitation information and is used in studying animal species diversity and potential effects of climate changes. The Bergeron and Spatial Synoptic Classification systems focus on the origin of air masses that define the climate of a region.
William Sanford "Bill" Nye (born November 27, 1955), popularly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, is an American science educator, comedian, television host, actor, mechanical engineer, and scientist. He is best known as the host of the Disney/PBS children's science show Bill Nye the Science Guy (1993–1998) and for his many subsequent appearances in popular media as a science educator.
William Sanford Nye was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Jacqueline (née Jenkins; c. 1920–2000), a codebreaker during World War II, and Edwin Darby "Ned" Nye (died 1997), also a World War II veteran whose experience in a Japanese prisoner of war camp led him to become a sundial enthusiast. Nye is a fourth-generation Washington, D.C. resident on his father's side of the family. After attending Lafayette Elementary and Alice Deal Junior High in the city, he was accepted to the private Sidwell Friends School on a partial scholarship, graduating in 1973. He studied mechanical engineering at Cornell University, where one of his professors was Carl Sagan, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 1977. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by The Johns Hopkins University in May 2008. In May 2011, Nye was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree from Willamette University where he was the keynote speaker for that year's commencement exercises.
I think that you just found me out
... you just found me out
I know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out
You think you know me, but what's inside?
Ain't gonna show you, so who am I?
Don't do disclosure, I never tried
Soul Train
On an easy ride
I got no secrets, I tell no lies
But you see through me, to my surprise
I never told you my powders dry
So claimed
I think that you just found me out
. you just found me out
Know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out
I think that you just found me out
. you just found me out
Know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out
I live in limbo, I've got no ties
Just look at me and you'll see no files
Oh it's all out there, there's no disguise
So Claimed
On an easy ride
Slippin' and slidin'
We all make our way
Duckin' and Divin'
All the games that people play
... you just found me out
I know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out
I think that you just found me out
... you just found me out
I know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out
I think that you just found me out
. you just found me out
Know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out
I think that you just found me out
. you just found me out
Know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out
