I WONDER - What Is Aerodynamics?

Aerodynamics is the science of how air moves around objects, not limited to airplanes but applicable to any object moving through air, like paper airplanes. The behavior of these objects, such as gliding or turning, is explained by aerodynamics. Scientists employ complex equations and wind tunnels to understand air interactions with various shapes and materials.
