Why Do We Have Different Kinds of Weather?

The sky is like a giant mixer. Sometimes, it’s calm and still, that's sunny weather. Other times, it’s full of energy, that's stormy or rainy weather. The air moves around, mixing up hot and cold parts, and that makes different kinds of weather happen all over the world.
