Beautifully and concisely explained!
- DoctorOetker 8y agoI agree it's beautiful and concise, but it is not correctly explained. I can give you a beautiful and concise explanation of clouds too: as we all know objects fall back to earth, or more properly speaking they follow orbits, close to the surface they seem to follow parabolas, but in fact they follow ellipses. the moon orbits the earth in a nearly circular ellipse, as do geosynchroneous satellites. When water evaporates from the ocean they are in fact launched into an ellipcitcal orbit, however each elliptical orbit that intersects the surface of the earth will intersect it again, this explains rain, the individual water drops fly for a while until they fall back down... beautiful, and relatively concise in comparison with real cloud physics, but totally wrong of course...
