Greg Kestin: What's going on here? Every time I throw the ball straight, it seems to bend to the side. No matter what I throw, no matter how straight I throw it, the ball seems to be curving. Maybe it ...

Most of our weather comes from a force that doesn't actually exist. It just looks that way because we're standing on a rotating, spherical planet. You may have even heard of the coriolis effect before ...

The Coriolis effect happens because of the Earth’s rotation. This force makes things travel in a curve rather than a straight line. In the northern hemisphere, things deflect to the right, and in the ...

This one takes some explanation, and it's okay if it doesn't make sense at first. We'll be covering some basic physics principles to answer this week's question. First, picture this. The Earth, of ...

MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — The Coriolis effect is the apparent acceleration of a moving body on or near the Earth as a result of the Earth’s rotation. In short terms, it is the movement of an air mass due ...

It affects ocean currents, weather patterns, and even the direction planes fly. The Coriolis effect has real impacts, but it’s actually just an “apparent force” that causes moving objects to be ...

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season is shaping up to be incredibly active with the fifth-named storm making landfall in early July (hurricane season runs through November). We're ...

Looking at a newborn baby is such a powerful moment for parents—the huge, overwhelming swell of love, the first feelings of fierce protectiveness, the onset of the terrifying responsibility. They feel ...

As you may have noticed while tracking a hurricane on the news, storms in the Northern Hemisphere spin counterclockwise, while those in the Southern Hemisphere spin clockwise. Why do storms spin in ...

Why do storms spin one way in the Northern Hemisphere and the opposite way in the Southern Hemisphere? The Coriolis effect, caused by Earth's rotation, has surprising effects on weather patterns and ...
