Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered how those giant fluffy clouds got their names? Or how something that floats perfectly in the air can actually weigh as much as ONE HUNDRED full-grown elephants?! Join Mira and Finn on an unbelievable weather adventure as they discover the secret science of clouds! You'll learn all about a curious amateur meteorologist named Luke Howard who changed science forever back in 1802. Before him, nobody knew what to call the chaotic shapes in the sky! We'll explore his awesome Latin names for clouds, from the giant, fluffy "Cumulus" heaps to the high, icy "Cirrus" streaks that look like wispy curls of hair. Get ready to brave the massive, lightning-filled "Cumulonimbus" storm clouds that stretch eleven miles into the sky, and uncover the mystery of "Lenticular" clouds that look exactly like hovering alien UFOs! Packed with mind-blowing weather facts, invisible air hands, and a fun trivia quiz, this episode will make sure you never look at the sky the same way again. Grab your umbrella and let's go cloud watching!
