When we ask: “What will the weather be like tomorrow?”, We are actually interested in how the thin layer of gases surrounding our planet behaves. Each planet or planetary satellite that is surrounded by the atmosphere - gases held by the force of gravity at the surface of such a planet, undergo changes in weather conditions. There is no atmosphere on the moon, so there is no weather.

How is the weather formed?

The sun heats the atmosphere during the day, at night it cools, radiating heat into outer space. Heating causes gas molecules to fly apart at high speeds.

Cooling creates a closer accumulation of gas molecules. These clusters of denser cold air rush into the area of ​​more rarefied warm air. The result is what we call weather. In one place an ocean breeze blows, in another a tornado spins: in Miami it is hot, in Paris dank rain.

Weather prediction

The atmosphere covers the vast expanses of the entire planet, which is constantly changing warm day and cold night. At the same time, our inclined planet flies around the Sun and there is a change of seasons.

Thus, the weather is extremely difficult to predict, given that its changes are determined by the chaotic movement of huge clusters of air masses and their global interactions.Even very high-quality satellite satellite photographs of cloudy turbulences do not always allow us to guess what will happen to the weather tomorrow. Therefore, if weather forecasters warn that it will rain tomorrow, and indeed it is raining, then they deserve all praise.
