Live demoLaunch winds across a spinning Earth and watch them bend right in the Northern Hemisphere, left in the Southern, and straight on the equator.

I'm Varyan Jain, a student who writes about Earth & Space Science and builds interactive tools that make it click — so more people can use the science to help solve the environmental problems ahead.
