In The Go Jetters Test a Stormy Weather Invention, the Go Jetters crew tests their invention to tackle stormy weather. They find hailstones inside a cumulonimbus thundercloud. Ubercorn shares funky facts about how hailstones are made and the damage they can do. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four international heroes as they travel the globe visiting landmarks and solving environmental problems with Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
In Saturn's Dramatic Weather, Professor Brian Cox explains how Saturn is able to maintain dramatic weather when it is so far from the Sun. Learn how the pressure on Saturn creates clouds, storms, and diamond rain. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Planets, a series that explores the dramatic lives of the eight planets in our Solar System.
