Скачать или смотреть How Weather Really Works: The Hidden Physics Controlling Our Sky

Above us, the sky can seem peaceful and still — but in reality, it’s a dynamic engine of motion and energy. Weather isn’t random chaos. It’s physics in action, powered by solar radiation from the Sun and shaped by thermodynamics, pressure gradients, and the Coriolis Effect created by Earth’s rotation.

As sunlight warms the surface, warm air rises through convection while cooler, denser air sinks. Water vapor carries hidden (latent) heat, releasing energy as clouds form. Meanwhile, massive atmospheric circulation cells move heat from the equator toward the poles, helping regulate the planet’s climate. High above, jet streams race through the upper troposphere, steering storm systems, cold fronts, and even hurricanes across continents.

In this slow, immersive journey into atmospheric science, we uncover the invisible machinery of Earth’s thin envelope of air. The atmosphere reveals itself as a self-organizing system — constantly balancing incoming solar radiation, ocean heat, moisture, and planetary rotation. From microscopic condensation nuclei that seed clouds to powerful global circulation patterns like the Hadley Cell and Rossby waves that guide mid-latitude storms, weather becomes what it truly is: the ongoing redistribution of heat and energy across our planet.
