Weather Things: Seasonal Changes

The video explores how seasonal changes are visible from satellites, highlighting the transition of the Great Lakes and Smokey Mountain National Park through different seasons. It explains the role of sunlight in controlling weather patterns and the formation of sea ice in the Arctic. The concept of the polar vortex is introduced, describing its impact on cold air movement. The video also covers wind patterns and their influence on weather systems, and concludes with an explanation of the seasonal differences between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres due to Earth's tilt.
