Wind's Great Rush
What makes the wind blow?
You feel it before you see it — a tug at your sleeve, a slammed door, a kite yanked sideways. Wind is invisible, restless, and a little mischievous. But here's the secret it's been keeping: wind is just air, and air is just trying to even things out.
Start with the air itself. It's not nothing — it's a sea of tiny molecules, bumping around, taking up space. Where lots of them crowd together, we call it high pressure. Where they spread thin, we call it low pressure. And air has one simple rule: it always drifts from the crowded place toward the roomy one.
