The science behind this hurricane in a jar experiment:

In our hurricane in a jar experiment, the outer bands of a hurricane are much weaker and represented by the lighter colors in the water.

But closer to the center the colors are much darker representing the strongest part of the hurricane, known as the eyewall of the hurricane.

The eyewall of a hurricane is where the strongest winds always occur.

The eyewall wraps around the eye, or center of the hurricane, where the winds are actually completely calm!

The winds are calm in the center of the hurricane because this is the center of the low pressure and all of the wind around the storm gets pulled horizontally into the center and in the center, the air rises vertically up into the storm.
