From the invisible blanket that surrounds our planet to the powerful winds that shape every flight path, this book brings complex science to life through storytelling, illustrations, and fun pilot-to-student conversations.You'll learn about: ✈️ Earth's Atmosphere and Temperature - Discover how the atmosphere is like a "giant layer cake," with each level playing a special role in creating weather and flight conditions. Matthew learns how temperature changes as he climbs higher and why the air gets thinner and colder with altitude.✈️ Atmospheric Pressure and Altimetry - Follow Matthew as he explores how air pressure helps pilots measure altitude and how changes in temperature can affect an airplane's true height. Together, he and his dad decode the mystery behind altimeters, density altitude, and why "from high to low, look out below" is a rule every pilot must know.✈️ The Wind - Matthew discovers the true story of the wind - from gentle breezes to powerful jet streams. He learns how wind is created, why it changes direction, how local winds like sea breezes and mountain winds form, and how pilots use this knowledge to navigate safely through changing weather conditions.Throughout the book, readers will experience real aviation principles explained in a fun, easy-to-understand way - with vivid illustrations, flight quizzes, and exciting pilot lessons that make learning about weather an adventure all its own.So fasten your seat belt, adjust your headset, and get ready to fly through the storm clouds with Matthew and his dad - where science, flight, and family come together high above the Earth!
