When riding in a car, if the air vent is not pointed at you directly but while the car is turning left or right in a turn you can feel the air hitting you. What causes this?
In: Planetary Science
It’s all about the change in direction and velocity of the air flow that gets affected by the car’s movement. When you turn, the air from the vent, which was initially going straight, has to adjust its path to match the turn, and that adjustment can make it feel like it’s hitting you. Basically, the air’s inertia causes it to temporarily move in a slightly different direction, making it more noticeable. 🌬️🚗
