What is the eye of a typhoon? Why is there no wind in the eye of a typhoon?

Typhoon is a large-scale rotating air mass with low central air pressure, and the surrounding air rotates rapidly counterclockwise around its center. The low-altitude airflow flows to the low-pressure center while rotating. The faster the airflow, the greater the wind speed. \x0d\ \x0d\ Usually a circular area with an average diameter of about 40 kilometers in the center of a typhoon is called the eye of the typhoon. Because the air around the typhoon eye rotates too much, it is difficult for outside air to enter the central area of the typhoon under the action of centrifugal force, so the typhoon eye area is like an isolated pipeline surrounded by a cloud wall. The air inside hardly rotates and the wind is weak. \ x0d \ x0d \ The air outside the eye area of the typhoon rotates towards the center of low pressure. They carry a lot of water vapor, which rises at the periphery because it is difficult to enter the eye area, forming a large gray-black bloated and towering cloud layer, and it is raining cats and dogs. There was a downdraft in the typhoon eye area, so the clouds dispersed and twinkling stars could be seen at night. As shown in the satellite image of Typhoon rammasun No.5 this year, the weather in typhoon eyes is usually sunny to partly cloudy, so it appears as a small black dot on the satellite cloud image. But after the typhoon eye moves, the weather will become extremely bad again.
