龙卷风中会有龙卷风吗?一般来说,没有。好吧,但是在更大范围的尘暴中会有龙卷风吗?不,原因之一是龙卷风从天而降,而沙尘暴却从地面升起。图中所示的是陆地龙卷风,一种罕见的龙卷风,通常发生在剧烈雷暴的边缘。2019年6月,一位经验丰富的风暴追逐者在美国堪萨斯州对这一特色地貌进行了拍摄和识别。真正的龙卷风在中心,外层可能是由中心龙卷风抛出的大尘埃颗粒形成的。到目前为止,虽然在太阳上发现了类似龙卷风的活动,在火星上也发现了沙尘暴,但已知唯一会产生龙卷风的行星是地球。几乎超空间:随机APOD生成器

Could there be a tornado inside another tornado? In general, no. OK, but could there be a tornado inside a wider dust devil? No again, for one reason because tornados comes down from the sky, but dust devils rise up from the ground. What is pictured is a landspout, an unusual type of tornado known to occur on the edge of a violent thunderstorm. The featured landspout was imaged and identified in Kansas, USA, in June 2019 by an experienced storm chaser. The real tornado is in the center, and the outer sheath was possibly created by large dust particles thrown out from the central tornado. So far, the only planet known to create tornados is Earth, although tornado-like activity has been found on the Sun and dust devils are common on Mars. Almost Hyperspace: Random APOD Generator
