A westward calming wind.
The word “Zephyr” originates from ancient Greek mythology, where Zephyrus, or Zephyros, was the god of the west wind. He was one of the Anemoi, the wind gods, and was often depicted as the gentlest among them, bringing warm and mild breezes that heralded the arrival of spring.
When air heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, creating an area of low pressure. Cooler, denser air then moves into this area, resulting in wind.
Wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure, which are typically the result of uneven heating of the Earth’s surface by the sun. When air heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, creating an area of low pressure. Cooler, denser air then moves into this area, resulting in wind.
