The Largest River Isn’t the Amazon, It’s Flying in the Sky



The Amazon River might be the largest on land, but there's something even bigger up in the sky—an atmospheric river. These "rivers in the sky" are massive streams of water vapor, carrying more water than the Amazon itself. They move through the atmosphere, often causing heavy rainfall when they hit land. Scientists call them "flying rivers," and they play a huge role in the Earth's water cycle. It's wild to think that the biggest river might actually be floating above us! #brightside Credit: CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en Wadi East Egypt: by Anton Lefterov https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wadi_East_Egypt.jpg Pancake Ice and Willow Tree: by Jasonpettit https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pancake_Ice_and_Willow_Tree.jpg Jani Radebaugh: by Ntrippy https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jani_Radebaugh.jpg CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/deed.en Pancake ice on the River Dee: by John S Turner https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pancake_ice_on_the_River_Dee_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1659151.jpg https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1659151 Pancake ice under the Iron Bridge: by John S Turner https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pancake_ice_under_the_Iron_Bridge_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1659592.jpg https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1659592 Titan – June 25 2009: by NASA / JPL-Caltech / SSI / Kevin M.
