Nature can be grouped into the 8 categories of:
• Light
• Water in its many forms like fog, ice, rain, rivers
• Sky as everything above the land including air, wind, space, stars
• Land
• Plants
• Animals and things that are unique to animals like a wing, roar, hoof
• Fire including things that fire produces, like ash and smoke
• Decay
Creation is generally considered to be only what God made before The Fall in Genesis 1 (Light, Water, Sky, Land, Plants, and Animals). Now, nature includes the original elements of Creation plus the additional God-created elements (Fire and Decay) that came when God subjected Creation to The Fall.
