Why kites fly

Everyone knows that in order for a kite to fly you need wind. But what type of wind is needed? Well, a once in a while breeze can help a kite fly. These winds are called local winds. Local winds occur in a small area and change direction very often. Global winds take place in a large area and are usually very strong. Local winds may arise from a sea breeze which is common during the day. The sea breeze is cool air being pushed upon warm land from a body of water. The best place to fly a kite is at the beach during the day because that is when a sea breeze is most common. A land breeze is the complete opposite and occurs at night. Local winds are caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun. Also, by convection currents. Winds help us understand weather better because of the Polar Easterlies. The Polar Easterlies are the cold but weak winds that change the weather in the U.S. My kite did not fly very much because there wasn't any wind. Although, if I went to the beach to fly my kite there would be a better chance of it flying. Besides that I wouldn't have changed anything about my kite.
