🌬️ Seasonal Wind Belts: ITCZ Migration, Hadley Cell and Coriolis Turning on a Spinning Planet

Watch trade winds, westerlies and polar easterlies on an idealised planet as the Sun's declination moves the equatorial rain belt through the year; change axial tilt, spin rate, ocean depth and land heating to see belts widen, shift, lag and reverse into monsoons.
