Why do doldrums happen?
Doldrums form over the equator because of the high tempuratures. Doldrums are areas around the equator that receive little wind. Heating causes air to expand, creating a zone of low pressure. This concludes that cloudy weather and rain develop almost every single afternoon.
What does fly windless along the equator mean?
It means you have the doldrums (it's a sailing term). A low-pressure nearly windless zone at the Equator is known as the doldrums.

All hurricanes and nearly all thunderstorms produce precipitation. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms and so are nearly always accompanied by precipitation, but they do not produce precipitation.
What atmospheric layer of earth do thunderstorms occur?
Like nearly all weather, thunderstorms take place in the troposphere.
When does it rain in a desert?

That depends upon the desert. Some desert have a regular rainy season, usually during the summer, and thunderstorms may form in the area nearly every afternoon. Other deserts rarely receive any rainfall for years.

Lightening strikes together with their companion, thunderstorms, rarely visit polar environments.
What is the term for the long lines of thunderstorms that may form in the warm air ahead of a moving cold front?
I think it is called a - Squall Line - a solid or nearly solid line or band of active thunderstorms.
What is the Moon's length?
Earth's moon is nearly spherical (shaped like a ball). Its equatorial diameter is 2,159 miles.
What is 1713 in civilian time?
nearly quarter past five in the afternoon 5:13 pm
Roughly the same size as Earth?
Mars - with an equatorial radius of 3,396 km about 0.533 that of Earth
Is a severe thunder storm watch better then a tornado watch?
Yes essentially. A severe thunderstorm watch means severe thunderstorms are possible. A tornado watch means tornadoes are possible. Severe thunderstorms can cause damage, but not nearly as much as tornadoes potentially can.
