The video discusses aerosols, tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere, which can be natural or man-made. They originate from various sources like deserts, oceans, fires, and human activities. Aerosols have a short lifespan and can travel globally, affecting climate by reflecting or absorbing sunlight and altering cloud properties. Studying their distribution is complex, requiring advanced satellite technology like the aerosol polarimetry sensor in the Glory mission.
