Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and its phenomena. The term itself goes back to a Roman emperor who, about 12 B.C., wrote a book on natural philosophy entitled Meteorologica.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "meteorology" and the early study of atmospheric phenomena are indeed ancient, but the reference to a Roman emperor writing "Meteorologica" around 12 B.C. is incorrect. The work "Meteorologica" was actually written by Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, around 340 B.C., not by a Roman emperor.
