How Earth evens out the energy input
Weather is what happens when Earth balances its energy from the sun on a global scale
Earth has surpluses of radiation in its equatorial regions, and deficits toward its poles. Our weather is a matter of Earth trying to even out the imbalance, Daniel Bezte writes.
Prairie forecast: Cold weather settles in after snowy start

Weather takes energy, and the source of that is the star we all orbit around
The sun’s radiation comes to us in many forms, some of which are harmful to organic life while others are completely harmless or even essential, Daniel Bezte writes.
