When is thermal energy trapped in the dense center of a cloud?
When excited molecules collide with other molecules before they can release a photon!
Why water expands on solidification?
due to hydrogen bonding bettween water molecules.
Why does it rain when the humidity is high?
Let's look at what humidity is. Humidity is the level of moisture in the atmosphere. What are clouds made of? Electrically charged water molecules. Because of being electrically charged, these molecules bond to each other, forming a cloud. This cloud receives more and more water vapor, until it cannot hold any more, and it releases the water vapor in the form of precipitation. Keep in mind though, this doesn't always happen (the rain), when there is moderate to high humidity , but there does have to be high levels of moisture in order for rain to occur.
How do ice water molecules differ from warm water molecules?
The main difference is that ice water molecules have very low kinetic energy, i.e. they don't move very fast, compared to warm water molecules. The other difference is in the intermolecular forces holding the molecules together. They are greater in ice than in warm water.
What will have more molecules 1 liter of water or 1 liter of ice?
The lower the temperature, the more close the molecules will be. Therefore the will be less molecules in ice than in water. So water will have more molecules per litre.
Why do clouds make shapes in the sky?
Clouds make shapes in the sky as water molecules gather and the wind blows and moves and spreads the cloud out. The thicker the cloud the more dense the water molecules are.
When evaporated water forms into a cloud we call it?
Clouds are formed from condensed water molecules.
What causes clouds and precipitation?
Evaporation. When ground water evaporates it turns in to water molecules. the molecules condense and form a cloud when the water in the cloud becomes too heavy the water fall in some form of precipitation. (i.e. rain, snow, sleet, hale...)
What occurs between evaporation and precipitation?
Condensation. The collecting of water molecules into a cloud
What cases lighting?
Lightening is caused by the accumulation of static electricity in the molecules of air and water that results from the motion of those molecules in a turbulent thunder cloud.
After cloud droplets form what must happen to them for precipitation to occur?
Many water molecules condense on a tiny particle.
What is cloud seeding and is it effective?
Cloud seeding - is dropping quantities of microscopic particles into the upper atmosphere - with the intention that water molecules will 'stick' to the particles - and thus create rain.
What happens to a water molecule in a storm cloud?
What happens to the water molecule is when it is evaporated, it is being bounced around. Then, when the water molecules are rubbing together, that creates friction, and friction creates energy, that energy is the lightning. Next, when the cloud is collection water, it gets denser and denser, and when it is very heavy, the water just falls out because the cloud can't carry anymore.
What A cool region underneath cloud cover will have a region with no cloud cover?
The temperature of a region with cloud cover is lower than a region without cloud cover. This is due to the absorption of heat of the clouds and the reflection of the water molecules in the clouds of light that causes the heat in the region.
What is needed to make a cloud?
The three things needed to make a cloud are:Water ParticlesLifting and coolingCondensation NucleiThe water molecules need something to collect on to create raindrops so comes in the "dust particles" or Condensation Nuclei (it does not have to be dust just something for the water molecules to collect on). The lifting and cooling pushes the drops up and down in the newly formed cloud and then when the drops get too heavy for the air to hold them up they fall.
When a cloud forms in the sky is that a physical or chemical change?
A physical change; more water vapour has joined the cloud, making it thicker and less able to allow light through.
What is the matter state of water in the atmosphere?
Gaseous
