Humans can go inside or put on clothes, but trees spend winter naked in the cold. Why don't they all die?

So we have Weather and Climate... but are they the same thing? No, no they are not. But they are both super important to how the geosphere is shaped. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats with us about the differences...

Bright pillars of light... clouds of glowing dust... shimmering discs floating around the sun... signs of extraterrestrial activity, or is there a more rational and scientific explanation for this phenomenon?

Animals have all kinds of adaptations to help them get through winter, from hibernation to boots and hats. But trees have to make it through the coldest months of the year alive, too, and they've developed some pretty extreme ways to do it!

Freezer burn, what's your deal? Why are you ruining our dinner plans?

In addition to just being beautiful one-of-a-kind panoramas in the sky, clouds can tell us so much about how energy and weather patterns flow around the globe. Today, we'll talk about how clouds form, the three main types (cirrus,...

Frozen water molecules don’t seem to be all that interesting. But, these eight weird things that ice can do are truly mind-boggling.

Winter is upon us, and for many that includes snow! And although snowflakes are ice crystals that become flakes under the right conditions, they also have mysteries that can be less simple to explain!

Freezer burn, what's your deal? Why are you ruining our dinner plans?

Thunder is not something you normally associate with a winter storm. However, if the conditions are right, you might experience thundersnow.

Glacier ice is weird. It's solid. Solid things aren't supposed to flow. But glacier ice flows like a liquid, and it does that without melting! How is this possible? I traveled to Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska to find out.

In this episode Hank explains how snow is made using science.

Join the Serial Testers as they explore the science behind ice formation with cold specialist Anthony Delahaye. Learn how water molecules behave at different temperatures and discover the process of creating stunning ice...

Everything about sundogs, lunar halos, ice halos, parhelia, and circumzenithal arcs.

Supralateral arcs, ice pillars and sun pillars.

Light pillars are optical phenomena that occur in extremely cold atmospheres, when flat ice crystals form close to the ground. They reflect natural and artificial light in columns that extend through the sky. This captivating spectacle...

The song name is displayed on the radio with the help of a specific communications protocol called the Radio Data System, which embeds small bits of information in FM broadcast signals. RDS allows broadcasters to send much more than just...

Thunderstorms can be an impressive sight, but how are they formed? What is happening deep inside certain clouds to create such huge bolts of energy? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Thunderstorms form in dense tall clouds...

How do the clouds closest to the Earth affect our weather? How are they formed and what do they look like? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Temperature, humidity and air pressure produce ten different types of cloud. Those at...

Snow forms in the atmosphere as a result of water molecules attaching themselves to nuclei bacteria. But scientists have found ways to manipulate the freezing process of water and the production of these nuclei to create snow...
