Weather v.s Climate
Convection is when hot air rises and cold air sinks and then the sun makes the ground hot so the once cold air is now hotter and the hot air comes down because as you get higher in the atmosphere the air gets thinner therefore colder so that air sinks and it repeats this process forever.
