Loving this explainer, especially when it deals with meteorology - something I enjoy. A little 'explainer' on high pressure systems. They are in fact associated with clear skies but the wind is not really about the high pressure system itself per se. It's nature's/the earth's balance at work. These winds are due to the high pressure winds going towards a low pressure area. It's the difference in pressure that causes the wind. The closer & stronger that low pressure system is, the stronger the wind. You can see/experience this right after a cold front passage - especially if the front passage is a "dry" one. (No precip/storms). It'll be hella windy as the front moves through but as the front moves away, the wind subsides. For those that didn't know and want an interesting tidbit... If you put your back to the wind, low pressure will ALWAYS be to your left (northern hemisphere). 🤓
I totally remember that game and yes, the general public went nuts regarding your statement. It was also possible that there were some wind gusts also having an impact on the kicked ball as well as some outright sheer luck, too. Thanks for your breakdown of one of my favorite things I learned in Physical Geography at the U of I back in the day. Love it.
No, no wind gusts, our Lord Dr Tyson has said so!...I love science, but I'm so tired of hearing this bag of hot air. I've heard this story/brag too many times. I get it, your good at math and can do some calculations.
The effect of local gusts of winds is more likely to have caused that sideways bounce on the upright post or simply that the main trajectory of the ball was aimed to that particular angular position of the post to make the bounce more biased towards the inner space between the uprights.
I haven’t heard Neil mention this, but when shooting very long distances, you have to take into account not only the distance and wind, but you have to actually account for the Coriolis effect. That’s what I think about whenever I hear someone talking about it
@@leoalper4530 classic dunning kruger effect. its better to not even start with those people. because they will never listen to anything that doesnt convirm their existing believes
This was a good video Neil! I’m a meteorologist and everything you said was obviously correct. Fun addition to your explanation, the Coriolis “force” is a term in the equations of motion relevant to our atmosphere. These equations are imputed in to our numerical weather prediction models that we use as a tool for guidance.
Do you work with TV? Too often I see their animated maps showing the winds go round in circles, which they cannot do -- they go in spirals. Also they are typically shown making several revolutions in the space of what must be a single simulated day, when they cannot make more than one revolution per day.
Coriolis force is something else.. the atmosphere moves due to the EM field of this planet and the energy gained form the sun.. so in short Coriolis found "something" and just gave it his name... just like Higgs.. sorry but Physics needs re-writing.. too many "old assumptions" and "errors"! As for the atom definition for example. I think the definition given from Democritus was "strict", an atom is undivided and has no sub-particles.. so for people that re-write the definitions how they like to, it is expected to see forces popping up having their "name" on it.. after all that was their only problem.. not to actually find something, but how they will have "υστεροφημία". If you want to understand better what happens in the "atmosphere".. the "skin" of our planet, check the "skin effect of AC current"... occurs to all forms of matter not only on metals.
In physics class, you also learn about things like centripetal force, and you will find many opinions online and in real life as to whether or not this is actually a force. It's very confusing.
Actually Neil has confused me. I googled it up and Neil talks about cumulus clouds in a low pressure system but apparently it's the exact opposite. I guess I don't understand.
Thank you personally for all these vivid, concise, and wonderful explanations of universal inner workings. Sir, you are a great and legendary American physicists and father figure. I love the eureka moments, and hope it goes on forever! much love and respect.
The Coriolis effect can be a little difficult to get your head around .. Dr Tyson, once again makes the difficult accessible to all .. love his work to the end of time.
Jupiter, being so much bigger than Earth and rotating so much faster must naturally have an absolutely monstrous Coriolis effect, which might partially explain why its atmosphere is so unimaginably turbulent. Though internal heating no doubt plays a big factor too.
Where I live in South Croatia we have a situation where you have a high pressure system over central Europe and cold air builds up behind dinaric mountain's and than we have this situation where that air falls over the mountains and its actually quite violent and gusty, we call that wind Bura, there are actually two types of Bura and one is clear day anticyclone Bura and other is Cyclone Bura, strongest one is in situation when in southern Adriatic sea there is a Cyclone and in continental Europe there is a strong Siberian Anticyclone or a "Branch" of Siberian high pressure system.
Thank you for ALL that you have done for science. I've learned so much more from you guys than I did in school many years ago. You guys make learning science fun!
I watched a documentary, but I don’t recall the country it was from. Anyway a guy lived in an area where a lot of hurricanes occurred. He actually did, meaning built a round house. At the bottom he had 6 garage doors. Next hurricane he opened all the garage doors to let the area flow through. Also with the house round the wind did zero Damage to his house. Everyone else in the neighborhood house was damaged or destroyed
As an unabashed science nerd: *Lovin' this*!👊🏼 I saw, and enjoyed, both of those movies: thought the launch thru the eye was ; but kinda bummed to hear about The Martian faux pas as it was the basis of the entire plot. The best sci-fi spawns from probable events / situations gone 😱🙃😵💫 And that football story... Wow! Keep doing what you're doing 👏🏼🖖🏼
I assume the left and right movement has to do with two things, 1) the fact that the earth is moving to the east and 2) the speed of rotation at point of origin. The reason the north to south object moves more eastward is because it starts out at roughly 1000mph but is traveling over the earth that is relatively slower and slower the more north is goes. So, it's over taking ground?
I wish I could remember all the cool stuff that I have ever Learned from Neil DeGrasse Tyson! At my age, I just have to be happy with listeninng to one of the most intelligent and fascinating men in the world every chance I get. Thank you for this! Also, you make me wonder what baseball would be like with flat surfaced bats. LOL!
This comes up in long distance shooting as well. When you are going past a kilometer or so you have to factor in the earth’s rotation and the direction you are shooting in on top of all the other factors you have to calculate
@@doublepiedavid8908 No bulpet drop but Coriolis effect is when you are strafing an opponent. Like shooting at a moving plane. You have to shoot ahead and bopefully shots land.
I'm not moving in a straight line. but as long as I can fill the glass i'll be alright. that's why I like star talk on weekends. I could travel with them where ever they go.
Im reading the martian now. One of the best novels ever. And honestly I thought the same thing when they left him. I was thinking, "since the atmospheric pressure is so low wouldn't the storm not be bad enough to tip the rocket. Maybe you couldn't see, however there isn't enough air the tip it". Glad I was right. GIANT plot hole
I didn't notice wind speed in the novel, so I just assumed that it was whatever was necessary to make visibility and uncertainty scary enough to abort, but I missed that error! Andy Weir is humble about gaps in his knowledge, but I wish that he had published a correction. Well, maybe he did. The book was longer than expected, but it's quite a story.
@@JA238979 in the first few logs he said the wind was at 175km/h and the MAV (mars assent vehicle) (the ship tipping) can only hold up to windspeeds of 150km/h for one hour.
The only part that confuses me a little bit about Neil's explanation with respect to the low pressure system is that nearly all low pressure systems that become tropical cyclones travel from east to west, so I think of the southerly wind (moving north) as falling "behind" the storm and the northerly wind (moving south) falling ahead of the storm, not the other way around. Either way, you end up with counter-clockwise rotation, but assuming the low pressure system is moving from east to west, the southerly wind would end up east of the low pressure system (behind) and the northerly wind would end up west (ahead) of it.
I need to make a slight correction. The reason hurricane eyes are calm, is because it is a region of high pressure, sinking air from the periphery of the top of the eye down to the sea surface. And when this air reaches the surface, it moves toward and collides with the low pressure inflow of the eyewall, while slightly bending (clockwise in N Hemisphere) to the right, due to the Coriolis effect, effectively creating a zone where the vorticity is zero.
Now what causes a tornado same concept? I never thought about the Earth rotation causing a goal To make it very nice really opens up my mind...great segment..
I think that the Coriolis effect can be better defined as the force generated by the counter motion of the earth (body) rotating on its axis and simultaneously rotating around the sun (star). It is related to Analemma if you can see the equator passing through the middle of the Analemma. You can see it in trees and the location of branches or leaves, palm fronds and their midriff and location of wind veins. It explains opposites that are complementary instead of opposites that are seen as negatives or adversaries. I wonder what you think of this. Thank you.
marooned (1969) was released in November 1969 which is AFTER we landed on the moon. I was in 9th grade and in the model rocket club in Junior High back then
Low pressure system feature rising air which encounters cooler air aloft producing clouds of moisture as the water vapor in the formally warm air condenses. High Pressure systems feature sinking air which dries out any moisture in the air as it sinks. Hurricanes strangely feature a strong low pressure system over warm water which caused this air to rise. However at the upper circulation there is a high pressure system that brings this air over the clouds and this evacuates the air which sinks around the outside of the storm. A perfect natural Heat engine.
I have a question or maybe theory... Of potential storms /winds. With the coming of the solar cycle to its "summer" and potential stronger solar flares. If a strong enough flare hits earth would it "evaporate" the moisture in the air and create a "diffusion storm"? In my mind I think yes and could be really strong winds...and if it's plausible, kind of scary, since I don't think it could be predictable?
Does this apply to track runner? So in track there are places where they say this track is fast because runners somehow always run faster. But does it have any connection to the orientation of the track and rotation of the earth?
Because of Dr. Tysons calculations the odds makers in Vegas are going to have to start taking the coriolis effect into consideration when they set the line for football games.
If the Coriolis effect affected *one* *score,* does this mean that all stadiums oriented north or south have a higher (percentage-wise) score compared to stadium oriented east or west?
So help me out here. Would this make it an imperative part of any sport with long propulsion that requires accuracy eg golf, NFL, Australian rules football, baseball etc that the person making the shot not only should take into account the wind and distance, but also the orientation of the stadium? So it would be different for both ends, or every hole in the case of golf. Seems another layer to aid precision for these athletes
So, if I'm understanding correctly, was the direction of the kick _toward_ the south...and thus moving toward a point that was moving _east_ faster than the point from which it was kicked? Either way, thanks for finally helping me to understand _why_ low pressure systems generate precipitation. My college Physical Geography teacher only taught us _that_ it happens.
I was told that the inventor of the Coriolis Mass Flow Meter discovered this fictitious force while his daughters were playing jump rope with the garden hose. Everything worked find until their dad picked up the end of the hose and started rinsing down his car. Every time he turned the water on, the water hose rope the girls had created would not work. They could not get it to go round and round, it wanted to kind of wiggle like a snake. And being an engineer he wondered why. And the Coriolis Mass Flow meter was created. We still use this simple example explaining the Coriolis effect to our customers.
Yes I understand that this coriolis force is fictitious. If I toss a ball on a rotating disk the disk is rotating under it while the ball is in the air so it appears the path of the ball has curved. It didn't land where you aimed. But if you toss a ball from the edge of the rotating disk to the center the ball will hit the center and not curve away. If I toss this ball from Chicago where I am to the north geographic pole it will land at the pole..
If air is moving due east or due west, there is also a sideways deflection. I'm not seeing how your explanation works in that case since the air isn't changing latitudes. How does it work in that case?
Most all American football fields are oriented North to South, so that receivers and returnees are not looking into the sun in the western sky. A notable exception JerryWorld in Dallas. A Cowboy punt returner dropped one last season costing Dallas a game.
Ok, viewed from the top, a cloud veering to the right and in front and another veering to the left and behind would apparently creat a Clockwise rotation. Of course, this would depend on the definition of "front" and "behind".
"Reptiles cannot be domesticated" Neil brother...you are at a stage of understanding of this reality that I was decades ago Have you not seen what happens to crocodiles/alligators that receive constant human affection from a young age? They become very different, look different, their biology even changes, they become non hostile....nothing like wild crocs/gators Much Love 🌍
@@morbidmanmusic No...I'm talking about they get brighter, healthier, eyes grow larger, teeth rounder. All creatures respond biologically to positive environments/stimulation...that's how they evolved to look and act the way that they do in the first place....hostile environment creates hostile behaviour/looks etc
Casually talks about calculating the estimated length (by inches) the rotation of the Earth helped a football team win a game. 😅 You’re a god amongs gods Neil, I hope you know that.
My grandfather flew planes into hurricanes, and they still do. Hurricane Hunters US Air Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance, WRS Boeing WB-50D weathership .
What type of plans? Like i am getting the vibe that they were giving plans to Aliens amd were called hurricanes to keep people out. Heck your grandpa flew plans🤔🤔🤔 that sounds so alien i am going karen mode om the phone to the withehouse
Neil is the only person who would watch a football game, not for the football, but to calculate the Coriolis Effect of the rotating earth on a field goal kick. 😳
Trust me! Sailors and Pilots are well aware of "Clear weather storms"! ;) I am curious though, would that then mean, if you were on or observing the weather/wind patterns on a tidally locked planet, there would be no hurricanes/cyclones/typhoons???
From my understanding tidal locked planet just means the orbit of the planet matches its spin realitive to another body. The planet is still rotating about its "n/s axis" thus if it has an atmosphere it has weather. Given enough time objects will become tidally locked
@@Michael-sb8jf Yeah, I realised that after leaving the channel. It is still rotating, just very slowly, so there would be some Coriolis Effect... Probably a lot less, depending on its distance from the host star, but yeah, I'm now thinking you're right. :)
So, the average length of a Kickoff, in Football is 64.5 yards, ( 58.9788 meters for Neil) Which means a "fair catch" has a few inches of variation. Is it enough to make a difference?

Can you do an explaineder on this. How much information is stored in photon at 1 second in the path of the photon after release.
The record player is a good analogy for Coriolis but only from the spindle toward the edge.
It is the inertia of the object passing over the rotating surface that makes it appear to curve.

Ok, viewed from the top, a cloud veering to the right and in front and another veering to the left and behind would apparently creat a Clockwise rotation. Of course, this would depend on the definition of "front" and "behind".
How about a show about clouds. The different types. How clouds hold all that water what causes it to rain. 👍❤️
The clouds hold exactly the same amount of water (absolute humidity) as the surrounding clear air.
I have that shirt Chuck! It is my favorite!
"Reptiles cannot be domesticated"
Neil brother...you are at a stage of understanding of this reality that I was decades ago
Have you not seen what happens to crocodiles/alligators that receive constant human affection from a young age?
They become very different, look different, their biology even changes, they become non hostile....nothing like wild crocs/gators
Much Love 🌍
Just proving the are depressed in the box...
@@morbidmanmusic No...I'm talking about they get brighter, healthier, eyes grow larger, teeth rounder.
All creatures respond biologically to positive environments/stimulation...that's how they evolved to look and act the way that they do in the first place....hostile environment creates hostile behaviour/looks etc
It is my understanding that stadium needed be oriented north-south for the Coriolis effect to operate.
Casually talks about calculating the estimated length (by inches) the rotation of the Earth helped a football team win a game. 😅 You’re a god amongs gods Neil, I hope you know that.
I wish Neil would use more visuals on these explainers for us visual learners. Computer, physical, something.
My grandfather flew planes into hurricanes, and they still do. Hurricane Hunters US Air Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance, WRS Boeing WB-50D weathership .
I watched some specials on those planes and missions in the late 90’s! Awesome stuff
Plans?!!?... Who waits for plans in a hurricane??.. did granddad jus like let em fly out the cockpit window or a cargo drop type situation? 😂
@@beastmaster415 Lol maybe he proposed his plans to the hurricanes and they accepted them and said “it’s a plan!”…
After surviving Hurricane Andrew, I'm still in awe they can fly into those & come out virtually unscathed.
What type of plans? Like i am getting the vibe that they were giving plans to Aliens amd were called hurricanes to keep people out.
Heck your grandpa flew plans🤔🤔🤔 that sounds so alien i am going karen mode om the phone to the withehouse
Wow! Great real life examples. Thanks so much for explaining this to us. Hahaha the clouds would be dizzy 🥴
What about peer pressure storms?
Raymond James in Tampa Florida is pointing North South
Neil doesn't teach science. He makes people understand science. He's one in a million guy.
The Coanda effect is much more interesting and Highly useful.
Yeah, just like snooker, pool, billiard game, ball hitting ball is hard to position the right angle and the right amount of force to apply.
What does Chuck's T shirt say? Science is...? It sounds like the good start of most sentences!
Amazing there are zero dislikes
Polar filds off emotional attachments and "responsibilitys"
Being from Greece, I can talk about the Cariolis (or Kariolis) effect.
And if you were from Shakespeare, you could talk about the Coriolanus effect.
Neil is the only person who would watch a football game, not for the football, but to calculate the Coriolis Effect of the rotating earth on a field goal kick. 😳
Trust me! Sailors and Pilots are well aware of "Clear weather storms"! ;) I am curious though, would that then mean, if you were on or observing the weather/wind patterns on a tidally locked planet, there would be no hurricanes/cyclones/typhoons???
From my understanding tidal locked planet just means the orbit of the planet matches its spin realitive to another body. The planet is still rotating about its "n/s axis" thus if it has an atmosphere it has weather. Given enough time objects will become tidally locked
@@Michael-sb8jf My bad...lol. I'll exit...
@@Michael-sb8jf Yeah, I realised that after leaving the channel. It is still rotating, just very slowly, so there would be some Coriolis Effect... Probably a lot less, depending on its distance from the host star, but yeah, I'm now thinking you're right. :)
On a tidally-locked planet, the permanent temperature difference between night and day would likely produce some extreme winds.
@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 Yeah, kinda thought about that after posting too. Thank you for your input though, confirms the thought process. :)
It feels that way
OK. what about at the equator? How do storms behave at the equator? Say at Equador?
Depends which hemisphere they formed in.
I like the way you think
Hits ball
Nyel as golf commentator: the earth just rotate 3 degree in favor.
So, the average length of a Kickoff, in Football is 64.5 yards, ( 58.9788 meters for Neil) Which means a "fair catch" has a few inches of variation. Is it enough to make a difference?
Is this a re-run?
Wow, dude is just smart
i wish the guests would get a chance to talk = so usa full of myself
hey Neil if time started going backwards wouldn’t it still have to be going forward in order to it to continuously go backwards?
