What are Jupiter clouds made of?
There are three layers of clouds on Jupiter, and each one is composed of different molecules. At one level there are clouds of ammonia, at another level there are clouds made of ammonia and sulfur, and at a third level there are clouds of water (H2O).
What is the lowest level of clouds called?
Stratus clouds.
Why do clouds generally appear white?
Not all clouds are pure white, however, for those that are white, it is due to their altitude and the reflection of sunlight. For example, a cirrus cloud has an altitude of approximately 8km above sea level. At such extreme altitudes all high-level clouds are made up only of ice crystals, as the water vapor from which they are initially formed has frozen. The ice crystals reflect sunlight. When flying above clouds during the day, they are always bright white. When we get dark clouds, they are so thick that they soak up most of the sunlight or reflect it upwards, and so things aren't as bright below. Storm clouds are the thickest clouds, and look the darkest from down below, though they still look bright white if we see them from above. Gray color of the clouds is caused by higher clouds casting their shadow on lower-based clouds, or that the clouds are so dense that their top parts absorb most of the sunlight, casting their own shadow along their base, making them dark on the bottom.
Are cirrus clouds low-level clouds that are thinwispy and white?
Yes
What is clouds forms at heights of 2000 meters or less?
Low level clouds like Cumulbus clouds
High level clouds that are mainly composed of ice crystals?
Cirrus Clouds
What kind are thin feathery clouds?
Cirrus Clouds. They form about 9kms above sea level and are composed of ice crystals
Clouds that form in layers?
Layered clouds, cirrocumulus clouds, are high level clouds. They form above 20,000 feet where it is cold. They are composed of ice crystals.
Are cirrus low or high?
Cirrus clouds are high-level clouds. They form at altitudes above 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) in the Earth's atmosphere and are typically composed of ice crystals. These clouds appear thin, wispy, and high in the sky and are often associated with fair weather or the approach of a warm front.
What word describes high thin wispy clouds?
The most usual form of high-level clouds are thin and often wispy CIRRUS clouds. Cirrus clouds are usually found at heights greater than 20,000 feet. Cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets.
What are Jupiter clouds made of?
There are three layers of clouds on Jupiter, and each one is composed of different molecules. At one level there are clouds of ammonia, at another level there are clouds made of ammonia and sulfur, and at a third level there are clouds of water (H2O).
Do cirrus clouds bring thunderstorms?
Cirrus clouds generally do not bring thunderstorms. They are high-level clouds composed of ice crystals and are typically associated with fair weather. Thunderstorms are usually associated with cumulonimbus clouds, which are large and dense clouds that can reach high altitudes and produce thunder, lightning, and heavy precipitation.
Is cirrostratus cloud low-level medium-level or high-level?
Cirrus clouds are thin wispy clouds. They are over 6 kilometers up. It is freezing up there, so they are made of ice crystals. They can mean bad weather is on the way.
What are the names of clouds in each cloud level?
Noctilucent clouds are the highest and least understood. Cirrus and cirrostratus are the high-type clouds. Any high cloud will have the prefix "cirr".
How do thunderstorms happen grade 6 level?
positive charge clouds and negative charge clouds touch and lightning comes down. BUT IT MAINLY IS ZEUS
What is a nimbo stratus?
Nimbostratus clouds are dark, low-level clouds that are accompanied by falling precipitation. Low clouds are primarily composed of water droplets, or when cold enough, these clouds may also contain ice particles and snow.
What is the stuff that coalesces to form planets referred to as dust composed of at particle level?
Mainly hydrogen.
