Wind is just air moving from one place where there is high pressure to another place where there is low pressure.
The science of red skies can also help us understand how stars form.
How exactly do the stars twinkle in the night sky? As it turns out, the answer is full of hot air… and cold air.
An expert in extreme weather events explains why the rain – and thus flooding – associated with Hurricane Harvey has been ‘unprecedented.’
Meteorology researchers across the country are prepping experiments for the mini-night the eclipse will bring on August 21 – two minutes and 36 seconds without the sun in the middle of the day.
Canadians love to paddle on them and camp beside them, but our boreal lakes offer more than just peace and beauty. They could provide clues to how life on Earth began.
