We have learned that the energy from the Sun is driving the weather systems on Earth. To understand how the Earth receives the energy from the Sun, it helps to "zoom out" into outer space and see it from another point of view. We know land and water do not heat up at the same rate, but there are other reasons the Earth is unequally heated. As a revolving spherical object around the Sun, energy is received differently at every latitude. Click on the season sites to the right to get an idea of what I mean.

Hey Guys,
I've added some new sites for you to check out.
First, the station model sites. One site explains what the symbols mean (note wind is in knots not mph) The other lets you see the current station models throughout any part of the country.
Next, if you go to the USA Today site you can learn a ton. Under the tap Interactive graphics, there are many tutorials for you to get a better understanding of the weather.
Lastly, please ask me questions. This can be confusing and the best way to clear up your questions is to ask (whether in class or on the blog).
