Does a dust devil develop into a tornado?
No. A dust devil is a whirlwind that forms from localized convection caused by heating from the sun. As such, they form under sunny conditions. Tornadoes develop from severe thunderstorms. Dust devils can, on rare occasions, produce minor damage similar to that of a very weak tornado.

Can you be allergic to dust?
In a sense, yes. People can develop allergic reactions to pretty much anything. However, most people with dust allergies are actually allergic to the saliva and feces of dust mites that are found in dust. Dust mites like to eat skin flakes (which comprises most of household dust).
Can a dust devil develop into a tornado?
No. Dust devils are whirlwinds that form from low-level convection in the absence of a thunderstorm. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms. However, on rare occasions dust devils can cause minor damage with winds comparable to those of an EF0 tornado. Landspout tornadoes can sometimes look rather like dust devils.
Where do dust devils occur?
Dust devils can occur anywhere that the sun can superheat the ground and a layer just above it. Usually this is an area without much vegetation cover. They most often occur in deserts but can also develop in vacant lots and dusty fields. Dust devils have also been observed on the planet Mars.
Is it possible for a tornado to come with the sun out?
Tornadoes can only form during thunderstorms, though sometimes the sun may peak through from the side to illuminate a tornado. Other than that, no. Sometimes dust devils will develop on sunny days. Dust devils are whirlwinds that look rather like tornadoes, but they are not. Dust devils are usually harmless.
How fast do dust storms move?
A dust devil is much slower. Dust devils are generally much smaller and than tornadoes. They develop in areas where the sun heats the ground to high temperatures, generating spinning updrafts that lift dust and other light material. Dust devils rarelyproduce damage, with winds commonly ranging from 20 to 40 mph. Tornadoes may look similar to dust devils, but are far mor dangerous. Even relatively weak tornadoes can produce winds well over 70 mph. In rare cases winds over 300 mp may occur. Most tornadoes develop from supercells, a type of severe, rotating thunderstorm.
Can dust mites hurt you in any way?
Not directly as they do not bite. They are not predatory and do not live on humans. They themselves are relatively harmless feeding on our skin. However their parts and especially their excrement is a potent allergen and can be very harmful to those with allergies to house dust. Hence indirectly I suppose they are harmful and can hurt us.
Which of these develop when gravity pulls gas and dust together with enough pressure to ignite nuclear fusion?
Having some trouble seeing your list of choices from here.But stars do.
What is another word for space dust?
