Environmental parameters are things that change around you, like when it gets colder or brighter outside.
Imagine you're playing in a park. The temperature is how warm or cold the air feels, like your favorite blanket on a chilly day. The light is how bright or dark it is, just like turning on a lamp in your room. These are all environmental parameters, because they tell you what’s happening around you.
How They Work
Think of your room as a little world. If you open the window and let in some wind, that changes how the air moves, that's another parameter! Or if you add more toys to your bed, it might feel heavier, that's like changing the weight or pressure in your room.
Sometimes, things happen without you even noticing. Like when a rainy day makes everything wet and muddy, the humidity (how much water is in the air) changes, and so does the soil under your feet.
All these little changes help you know what's going on around you, just like how you know it's time for lunch because the bell rings!
