Conduction is the transfer of heat or electricity through a material without the material itself moving. This occurs when...

Convection is the vertical movement of air caused by temperature differences, where warm air rises and cool air sinks. It...

Bright and dark rays with changing colors and contrast in the sky. These rays become visible due to the reflection of atmospheric...

Frozen drizzle is a dangerous type of frozen rain. It’s a light rain that falls in very fine drops, which freezes on contact...

A strong, downward wind caused by a localized column of air sinking rapidly, often resulting in damage similar to that caused...

Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air cools and changes into liquid water. This process is crucial...

The decrease in temperature with height in an adiabatically rising air parcel (lapse rate). For dry air, this value is 1...

Snow that rises to 8 feet or higher.

Cloud condensation nuclei are tiny particles in the atmosphere, such as dust, salt, or pollutants, that provide surfaces...
