| atmosphere |
When we talk about the atmosphere of a place, we mean the kind of feeling that the place seems to have. The colors, the noises, and the way people are talking and acting with each other are some of the things that create the atmosphere of a place. An airport has a very different atmosphere from a library, for example. A library usually has a quiet and calm atmosphere. The atmosphere at an airport is often busy and excited. [1/2 definitions] |
