In terms of wind speed, yes. Tornadoes are the only storms on earth that can produce gusts in excess of 300 mph. However, tornadoes this intense are very rare.
Neptune's winds are the fastest in the solar system they go at a speed of 2000km/h. They are the fastest in our solar system and maybe even in the entire galaxy.
Wind is primarily caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. As the sun heats different parts of the Earth at different rates, air masses with varying temperatures and densities are created, leading to the movement of air we experience as wind.
The ozone protects Earth from intense solar wind.
There wouldn't be wind without the sun because of how the sun heats the Earth unevenly.Uneven heating of Earth causes wind.Without sun, there's no uneven heating, and without uneven heating there's no wind. No, there is no wind because the sun heats the air which cause high and low pressure systems which results in wind.
The fastest winds on Earth are found in tornadoes.
No, tornadoes are not the fastest wind on Earth. The fastest winds on Earth are found in weather phenomena such as jet streams and hurricanes. Tornadoes can have extremely high wind speeds, but they are localized and short-lived compared to other weather events.
The fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth was 302 mph. It was measured in an F5 tornado in the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999.
The fastest wind ever recorded on earth outside of a tornado or hurricane was a gust to 231 mph (372 km/h) at the summit of Mount Washington on April 12, 1934.
Tornadoes can have winds in excess of 300 mph.
What is the fastest wind in Kingswood in the UK?
We here on Earth wouldn't think of it as "wind", but some aspects of the "solar wind" thrown off in coronal mass ejections from the Sun traverse the 93,000,000 miles to Earth in as little as a couple of days.
The fastest storm on record is the Tri-State Tornado, which occurred in the central US in 1925. With estimated wind speeds reaching up to 300 mph, it holds the title for the fastest tornado ever recorded.
Yes. The energy of a tornado takes the form of extremely fast wind. The strongest of tornadoes produce the fastest winds on earth.
The world record for fastest surface wind speed ever recorded is 253 mph. It was "accurately measured with an anemometer" on Australia's Barrow Island during cyclone Olivia, and being accurately measured makes the "official world record". The unofficial record is 318 mph. This was measured using Doppler radar during an F5 tornado in Oklahoma. It's unofficial because Doppler radar is a less accurate way to measure wind speed than with an anemometer.
pretty sure it's in Bb
This wind gust was to 231 mph. However, it no-longer holds the record. THe title for the fastest surface-level wind gust was recorded on Darwin Island of the coast of Australia during Cyclone Olivia in 1996. The gust was measured to 253 mph. However, if we go outside official wind speeds, the record belongs to the F5 tornado that astruck the Oklahoma City area. Doppler radar there measured a wind gust to 302 mph at a point about 100 feet off the ground.
