　　Texas was the biggest state before Alaska, the forty-ninth state of the United States in 1959. One good way to understand the size of Texas is to learn about its weather. It is really unusual for a southern state that the weather is so different from place to place within one state. That is, different parts of the state have different kinds of weather at the same time of the year.
