By doing so you might learn along the way the real valid physics of heat transfer in fluid dynamics which is how we get out great wind and weather systems from the equator to the poles, because you would then understand that the atmosphere around us is a heavy voluminous fluid and the dynamics of heat transfer in this is by convection which is what wind is, created out of differential heating of volumes of this fluid.
