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.
Examples
- When warm air from a lake rises and cool air from a forest moves in, we get light rain.
- A hot summer day can feel like a giant oven baking everything, that's why it's so sunny.
- Snow falls when cold air meets water vapor high up in the sky.
