The video tutorial introduces wind, defining it as the natural motion of air and gases on a planet's surface, with varying intensities from breezes to storms. It explains wind formation due to atmospheric pressure differences, with warm air rising at the equator and cool air descending from polar regions. Wind measurement is discussed, highlighting its importance in weather research and engineering, using tools like the Beaufort scale and anemometer. The video also covers wind's impact on climate, affecting weather patterns and erosion, and its role as a clean energy source, historically used in windmills and now harnessed by wind turbines for electricity.
