It depends on which way you are facing. If you are facing north then it appears to be moving from your front to behind you. If you are facing west then it is moving from your right to your left. If you are facing east then it is moving from your left to your right. If you are facing south then it is coming from behind you and going out in front of you. Regardless of where you are standing on the equator, south is still south, north is still north, east is east and west is west. The only place where some question may occur is if you are standing on the exact north or south pole. If you are exactly on the north pole, then all wind comes from the south and goes to the south. That's because as you stand on the North Pole and point, everywhere that you point is south. The same happens at the South Pole. Everywhere you point is north. It is like the question, "If you are in a square house and all four walls face south, and a bear walks past, what color is the bear?" The bear is white because it is a polar bear. The only place that the house can be, is dead center on the North Pole. Hope that helped.

What area does snow fall upward?
Snow does not fall upward. If it is very windy, it may appear to be blowing up at times, but it falls due to gravity.If you are fortunate enough to be there when it happens, the wind currents can make it appear as though snow is coming upout of the Grand Canyon.
It summer in Zimbabwe when it winter in PolandWhy?
This is because the equator is above Zimbabwe and is below Poland. It's very simple, during the autumunal equinox, the rays of the sun are coming from the Northern part of the world. The seasons all have to do with Earth's tilt and the rays of the sun.

What are the mechanisms for heat transfer in the atmosphere and where in the atmosphere is each important?
The main mechanism for heat transfer in the atmosphere is known as convection. This is when a heated object transfers some heat to the air, which transfers that heat to a colder area. This phenomena is observed on the earth, although before I explain about that, you have to know that "hot goes to cold" (it's a basic physics fact). Land and air along the equator are heated. The land transfers some heat to the air. Then, because warm air rises, the air rises, and because "hot goes to cold," the air travels to either pole (north or south). Once there, the air transfers some heat to the ground at the pole, and sinks back down beneath the new warm air coming from the equator. That new air pushes the cold air back to the equator, where it is heated, and it all starts over. The equator is like the radiator, and the poles are like the window (if the picture shows up).

Why does the Sun not heat the poles and equator of the Earth equally?
At the equator the surface of the Earth is a right angles to the rays of light coming from the Sun. As the Earth is a globe, as one moves North or South, away form the equator, the surface of the Earth begins to tip away from facing the Sun until, at the poles, the surface of the Earth is parallel to the Rays coming from the Sun. This means that as one moves away from the equator, the surface of the Earth actually receives less of the Sun's energy.
