SSC CGL - 12 Sep 2025 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q42

Which of the following is not recognized as a component of weather?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Soil pH.

Soil pH is not recognized as a component of weather. Weather refers to day-to-day atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, air pressure, cloudiness, and wind speed. Soil pH, on the other hand, describes the acidity or alkalinity of soil, which affects plant growth, nutrient availability, and agricultural productivity. It is a soil property, not an atmospheric element.

Other options explained:

  • Temperature: A primary element of weather; it influences heat, climate patterns, and daily conditions.

  • Humidity: Represents the amount of moisture in the air and affects rainfall, comfort levels, and cloud formation.

  • Wind Speed: Measures how fast air moves in the atmosphere and plays a key role in storms, pressure systems, and weather forecasting.
