Conclusion
Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a given place and time in regards to heat, cloudiness, dryness, sunshine, wind, and rain. Weather can vary greatly and largely depends on climate, seasons, and various other factors.
Most people find sunny days pleasant. With the absence of clouds, the sun is able to shine through and provide warmth. A sunny day doesn't always mean it's warm, though. Cold temperatures and wind can be present on sunny days.
On a cloudy day, the sun's rays are blocked from reaching Earth's surface. However, it can still be warm on a cloudy day because cloud cover can trap in heat near the ground. Almost always, rain is associated with clouds. A cloud is nothing more than a large mass of water vapor. As the temperature drops, the water vapor in the cloud cools and coalesces into raindrops.
Windy days are primarily formed as a warm air mass rises upward and cold air rushes in to fill the vacuum. Wind gusts also form as air is pushed into smaller and smaller spaces. For example, Chicago is infamous for this; the Windy City gets its nickname because of air rushing in from Lake Michigan. The rushing wind gets funneled into narrow paths throughout the city, causing strong wind gusts to blow.
Snow forms in a way similar to rain. As the temperature drops, water vapor in the clouds turns into snowflakes. Once heavy enough, the cloud will not be able to hold the snow anymore, and it will begin to fall to the ground.
