When it is cold, the air inside the balloon loses energy. The molecules slow down, take up less space, and exert a lower pressure on...
The weather depends on simple initial conditions: temperature, pressure, or wind at a specific moment. The problem is that a tiny fluctuation in any of...
Atmospheric pressure is simply the weight exerted by the air present in the atmosphere on a given surface. Just imagine a huge column of air...
The formation of a sandstorm often begins with prolonged periods of drought and intense heat. The soil, completely dried out, loses its protective vegetative layer, making it...
Fog is simply a large cloud close to the ground, made up of tiny water droplets suspended in the air. For it to form, humid...
The overall rise in temperatures directly disrupts atmospheric dynamics, leading to imbalances that significantly boost extreme phenomena. A warmer climate means an atmosphere with more...
Albedo is basically the ability of a surface to reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it. Light beach sand has a lower albedo than the concrete...
In the mountains, steep terrains tend to slow down, channel, or even lift the air masses arriving from above. When an air mass hits the...
When warm, moisture-laden air rises, its temperature gradually decreases. As it cools, the air becomes unable to hold all the water vapor it contained: it...
Atmospheric humidity is essentially the amount of water vapor present in the air around us, a completely invisible vapor. The warmer the air, the more...
