The evaporation of water is a key process in the water cycle. When the sun shines on bodies of water, oceans, rivers, and lakes, it...
The rotation of the Earth around its axis is the first factor that influences the apparent movement of the sun in the sky. This phenomenon...
Clouds are formed of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. These small droplets are generally between 10 and 20 micrometers in...
Weather satellites provide an invaluable overview of the Earth. Orbiting our planet, these satellites capture detailed images of the Earth's surface. Thanks to their strategic...
Snow forms when moisture in the air condenses into ice crystals around suspended particles, such as dust or pollen. These ice crystals can stick together...
A lunar halo is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that occurs when light is refracted or reflected by ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Halos can...
The period of daytime warming can contribute to triggering avalanches at the end of the day. Under the effect of solar radiation, the temperature of...
When light passes from one medium to another, it changes direction, a phenomenon known as refraction. The refraction of light is caused by the difference...
When a plant is exposed to frost, plant cells can suffer significant damage. Freezing temperatures cause the formation of ice crystals inside the cells, leading...
Sublimation is the process by which snow directly changes from a solid state to water vapor without passing through the intermediate liquid state. This phenomenon...
