Not a dumb question at all!
Technically, yes, wind at the same speed would be less impactful at higher elevations than at sea level. Because the density of the air is lower, there are fewer molecules to blow against you and create the resistance you feel in heavy winds.
Wind load (the force of wind pushing on an object) is directly proportional to air density, meaning the wind load in Denver (where the density is on average 82% that of sea level) would also be 82% of that at sea level.
However, realistically, any difference would probably be negligible in terms of what your body experiences. So it might be 18% less forceful, but would you really notice?
Still think weather isn't real @hen_ease?
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
The president of the United States, ladies and gentlemen. We're so cooked. Can't afford a house or groceries? Look at an ai vid of critics of the big beautiful president sumo wrestling to distract. Not to mention the irony of trump mocking someone else's weight and appearance
The world has let down the Palestinian people at every turn with no end in sight.
Now civilian Iranians are being bombed, killed and thrown into a senseless and unjustifiable war with Israel.
There are no words to capture the pain caused. When will this cycle of genocide end?
This isn’t funny but sanctioning the UN Human Rights Council for finding Israel guilty of systemic sexual violence against Palestinians is straight out of The Onion
The lawyer for Mahmoud Khalil, at today's hearing, said that she has been unable to speak to her client once since his detention.
Does any of this sound like the America you were taught about growing up? A legal permanent resident kept incommunicado with no charges specifically for his speech
Bernie: “Trump is attacking children and the elderly to enrich himself and his billionaire government”
Slotkin: “I love Ronald Reagan and hate the Chinese”
The Onion retaining InfoWars’ low trust audience but slowly shifting the ideological content of their conspiracy theories to be left wing (“Donald Trump did 9/11”) could be the key to how Democrats win back the Crank Vote lmao
