Where Is the Wind When It Is Not Blowing?
The answer is, of course, that there isn’t any wind then. To understand this perfectly we must study a little and find out what wind is. In plain words it is nothing more than moving air.
If you make a hole in the bottom of a pail of water the water will run out slowly. If you knock the whole bottom out of the pail filled with water, the water will rush out before you know it.
That is about what happens to make the wind. The air is constantly full of air currents, like the currents you can see in a river. Down the middle of the river you may notice a softly-flowing current going straight. Along the shores there will be little side currents going in all directions, and you may find some little whirlpools. That is exactly what we should see in the air if we could see air currents.
