#ngscience #understandingweather #weatherscience #climatescience Our Earth is wrapped in a layer of air called the atmosphere. This is where our weather happens. The sun heats up the air in the lower part of the atmosphere, which affects how warm or cold it is around us. On a bright, sunny day, the sun heats up the air and the temperature goes up. But when the sun sets, or is hidden by clouds, less heat gets to the air, so it gets cooler. This heating and cooling make the air move around, and this moving air is what we call wind. The air also has water in it, which is a gas called water vapor. When the air heats and cools, the water vapor can turn into clouds, and from these clouds, we get different types of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Weather is always changing - morning to afternoon, day to day, season to season, and place to place. With different tools and technology, we can describe and predict the weather. We can tell what the temperature will be, how strong the wind will be and where it's coming from, or when it's going to rain. We can even guess when big weather events like thunderstorms or hurricanes are going to happen. Our newest educational video takes a deep dive into the captivating world of weather and our Earth's atmosphere. We guide young learners through the mechanisms behind weather changes and how the sun's heat influences the temperature around us. Our Earth is enveloped in a layer of air, called the #atmosphere, which is where all our weather occurs. When the sun heats the air in the lower part of the atmosphere, it affects the surrounding temperature, resulting in the familiar warmth of a sunny day or the coolness when the sun is hidden. The process of heating and cooling causes the air to move, creating what we feel as wind. Air also contains water in its gaseous form, known as water vapor. The constant change in temperature can cause this water vapor to form clouds, which can, in turn, lead to different types of precipitation such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. #Weather is a constantly changing phenomenon, varying from morning to afternoon, day to day, season to season, and place to place. With the use of advanced tools and technology, we're able to predict and describe weather patterns. We can anticipate temperatures, wind strength and direction, rainfall, and even foresee significant weather events like thunderstorms or hurricanes. For educators, this video is an excellent resource to introduce the fascinating science behind weather, promoting observational skills and encouraging curiosity in students. On the other hand, students will gain an appreciation for the dynamic nature of our planet, understanding how these processes affect their daily lives and the broader ecosystem.
