(Might be wrong flair) Smoke from smaller campfires, house fires, etc go away after a while. Even though there is so much more smoke from the wildfires, how is it still able to travel across multiple states without going away?

>Smoke from smaller campfires, house fires, etc go away after a while.
This is false. It does not “go away” rather because it’s a large amount of air and a small amount of smoke you eventually reach a place where you can’t detect it anymore.
Where’s with a wild fire, the amount of smoke is SO LARGE but the amount of air on the planet earth is the same. SO it takes longer to dilute the same way.
Think of it this way. Lets say you own a lake house that has a lakefront beach AND a swimming pool (super fancy).
You are lounging in the pool, and I walk up to the edge of the pool and piss into it. You’d likely be upset because your swimming pool now has piss in it. On the other hand, if you are swimming in the lake and I walked up and piss into the lake, you’d be much less upset. This is because the piss to water ratio is much more favorable in the lake than it is in the pool.
