YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

What is the Coriolis Effect? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice explore the movement in Earth’s atmosphere and how hurricanes work. Could you launch a rocket through the eye of a storm?

Learn about how rotating objects impact things on their surfaces. How do winds turn into storms? We explore high-pressure and low-pressure systems. Where do the fastest clouds come from? How does the eye of the hurricane form? Finally, discover how the Coriolis Effect might make you win or lose a football game based on your stadium's orientation.
