- He moved to Manchester in 1793 to teach mathematics at the New College. Because he was a Quaker, he was barred from many British universities and instead went to a dissenting academy.
- He developed an avid interest in meteorology, keeping detailed weather records throughout his life. He published his first book, Meteorological Observations and Essays, in 1793.

- Quakers
- Quakers were a group of Protestant Christians who had separated from the Church of England. They were considered dissenters because their ideology was seen as opposing the Church of England.
- Because they were dissenters, Quakers like Dalton were often barred from attending formal universities such as Oxford and Cambridge. This meant they had to seek alternative educational routes such as "dissenting academies" that were open to "young men of every religious denomination".
- Quakers were known for their modest lifestyle. Dalton himself, despite his scientific achievements, tried to avoid public recognition and lived a humble, uncomplicated life

- Prior to Dalton, it was believed that the atmosphere was a chemical solvent. Dalton proposed that the atmosphere was a mechanical system of mixed gases and that the pressure exerted by each gas was independent of the other gases. This idea was critical for his development of the law of partial pressures
- John Dalton's work challenged and ultimately broke with several prevailing paradigms in science, particularly in the fields of chemistry and meteorology
- Dalton's work on atomic theory included assigning atomic weights to known elements. He also pioneered the use of ball-and-stick models to illustrate the three-dimensional structure of molecules.
- Dalton's atomic theory provided a foundation for understanding how elements combine to form compounds. He introduced the idea that atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds. This concept helped explain why compounds combine in definite proportions.
