What causes wind? Storms? Why are there powerful winds on a day when there are no clouds in the sky? Why do we get gentle winds some days, and blustery, annoying winds on another? According to Bill Nye, the sun's energy controls all the wind on Earth. In Bill Nye the Science Guy: Wind, he demonstrates how it all works, in a way that the average ten-year-old can readily understand. Hot air, cold air, and the spinning Earth work together to produce varying velocities of wind. The standup scientist tries both parachuting and sailing to help students see the concepts at work.
