CLEVELAND — Welcome to the weather classroom! We're ready to help you learn -- even if schools are currently closed.
3News meteorologist Jason Frazer loves science and doing school visits. Recently, he kicked off an online series helping kids better understand meteorology. He’s going to be doing weather lessons about a variety of topics including wind, temperature, tornadoes and hurricanes. These lessons are geared to children who are 9 years old and older. He welcomes your questions, too. You can e-mail him directly at JFrazer@WKYC.com or you can contact him on Facebook or Instagram at @JasonFrazerTV.
NOTE: Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this story for links to more of Jason's weather lessons.
In today’s lesson, Jason discusses what sunrises and sunsets are, and why there are so many different colors that appear. Plus, you'll learn how sunrise and sunset times are calculated. Watch below:
Sunrises and sunsets happen each day. The time they happen changes by the day. The colors you see during the sunrises and sunsets are impacted by several things, including cloud cover and pollution.
A handout for today’s lesson can be found here:
