"Well, the whole thing started with it being very hot at A, you remember, so that the air rose. If it had been hotter still at B just then the air would have risen at B instead, and it couldn't have rushed over to A. There'd have been a frightful muddle." "There is." "Well, it's your own fault for interrupting. This air, then--" "Which air is this?" "The air from B. The air from B cools the air at A--" "But I thought the air at A had risen." "Not all of it. And that makes it rain." "Why?" "Oh, well, I can't go into that. It's something to do with condensation. Air absorbs more moisture when it is hot than when it is cold--" "So do I. I understand that." "When the air cools the water condenses." "Is it fine then?" "No, it rains, you fool." |
