The Mountain's Snowy Hat

from STEM with Dr. Owl · host Orbital Owl

⛰️ Ever look up at a tall mountain in the spring and wonder why it's still covered in snow, even when it's warm where you are? Join the endlessly curious Emma as she asks the wise Dr. Owl this very question! In this episode, discover the fascinating relationship between altitude (how high you go!) and temperature. Learn why the air gets thinner and colder the higher you climb, just like wearing a thinner blanket, and understand the magic freezing point that keeps those mountain peaks looking like they have frosty white hats long after the flowers bloom below. Tune in for high-altitude facts made easy and fun!
