Definition-

The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere, which at sea level has a mean value of roughly 14.6959 pounds per square inch.

Definition- Absolute humidity is the measure of water vapor (moisture) in the air, regardless of temperature. It is expressed as grams of moisture per cubic meter of air (g/m3). 

Example: Absolute Humidity of the atmosphere changes from place to place for instance, you lose heat through sweat in warm weather to stay cool.

Connections : If they move faster, they bump into each other harder and more often. This happens when the temperature of air is increased. Warm air molecules have more energy, so they move faster and create more pressure.

When further cooled, the airborne water vapor will condense to form liquid water. 

Connections: Dew point is often confused as humidity. This morning it was 23 degrees outside and there was Dew Point over the cars and lawn becuase of the frost and water.

Also referred to as "radar height" or feet/metres above ground level (AGL). True altitude is the actual elevation above mean sea level. It is indicated altitude corrected for non-standard temperature and pressure.

Example: The height of a mountain or the height a plane is in the air. Are both examples of relative altitude like the height of a mountain could be 174 feet.

Definition: Climate is the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.
Example: 
At 12:00 am today it was 30 degrees
At 6:00 am today it was 23 degrees
At 12:00 pm today it is predicted to be 41 degrees
