The wind is like a giant invisible push or pull in the air. When warm air rises and cool air moves in to take its place, it creates wind. This movement of air helps make the weather, like rain, snow, and even sunny days.
Examples
- The breeze you feel on a hot summer day is caused by warm air rising and cooler air moving in to replace it.
- A stormy sky with dark clouds might be because of strong winds bringing cold air from the north.
- When you fly in an airplane, you can sometimes feel turbulence, that’s wind causing sudden changes in air pressure.
