Why do you think weather scientists use percentages instead of saying “it will definitely rain today”?

Biology

Answer:

Right now, I am in college for climatology, but before I decided on climatology, I was taking classes in Meteorology, the study of weather. So, I will answer your question. All meteorologists like to be right, but since the weather is so spontaneous, it is really hard to be right. Meteorologists use percentages because it helps them be professional. Also, because, different parts of the region where they are may or may not get the rain. I don't know where you are from, but I will use my hometown. In McAlester, Oklahoma, there may be a 70% chance of rain, but in another part of the region at Tulsa, Oklahoma ( which is 91 miles north of McAlester) there may be a 40% chance of rain. The difference in the percentages can vary from how stable the environment is, altitude, location, and terrain. That is two of the reasons why Meteorologists use percentages to predict weather.

Difference between cytoplasm ans cell sap?
Ludmilka [50]
Cell saps are the liquid inside of a plant cell's large central vacuole, which acts as support in order for it to function. They're made up of amino acids, glucose, salts and water and plays an important role in osmosis.
Cytoplasms, on the other hand, are a jelly-like substance between the cell membrane and nuclear envelope within a eukaryotic cell. They're mostly made up of water and salt, and aid in growth and metabolism in a cell.

Which of the following helps explain how a rainbow of colors can form when sunlight passes through a prism?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

As the white light moves through the two faces of the prism, the different colors bend different amounts and in doing so spread out into a rainbow. In a rainbow, raindrops in the air act as tiny prisms. Light enters the raindrop, reflects off of the side of the drop and exits.
