Ever wondered how hurricanes form?
These massive storms start over warm ocean waters, where heat and moisture fuel their power.
As warm air rises, it creates a low-pressure system, pulling in more air and intensifying the storm.
The Coriolis effect then spins it into a swirling vortex.
When wind speeds hit 74 mph, it officially becomes a hurricane!
These storms can span hundreds of miles, unleashing devastating winds and rain.

Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms, forming when warm, moist air collides with cool, dry air.
This clash creates instability, and if wind patterns align just right, a rotating column of air—called a mesocyclone—develops.
When this funnel touches the ground, it becomes a tornado, capable of destroying everything in its path.
Some tornadoes reach speeds over 200 mph!
Scientists still study why some storms spawn tornadoes while others don’t.

Lightning is more than just a flash in the sky—it’s a massive electrical discharge!
It forms when ice and water particles inside a storm cloud collide, creating a charge imbalance.
The negative charge in the cloud seeks out a positive charge on the ground, forming a bolt of
lightning.
This process heats the air to 30,000 Kelvin—five times hotter than the sun’s surface!
That’s why thunder follows, as the air rapidly expands.

Ever seen a double rainbow?
Rainbows form when sunlight refracts, reflects, and disperses inside raindrops, splitting into colors.
A double rainbow happens when light reflects twice inside the droplet, creating a second, fainter arc with reversed
colors.
The angle of the sun and the size of raindrops determine how vivid the rainbow appears.
No two people see the same rainbow—it’s a unique optical illusion!

Did you know the sky isn’t actually blue?
It appears blue because of Rayleigh scattering—shorter wavelengths of light (blue) scatter more than longer wavelengths (red).
During sunrise and sunset, the sun’s light passes through more atmosphere, scattering blue light away and leaving red
and orange hues.
This same effect makes Mars’ sky appear red!
The science of weather is full of surprises.
