Raindrops are formed when water vapor condenses on?
particles of dust and other particles in the atmosphere.
What does water vapor collect around to form a cloud?
dust and other particles
What does water vapor condense around to form clouds?
small dust and sand like particles
What decides what cloud will form?
Clouds form when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals. There is water around us all the time in the form of tiny gas particles, also known as water vapor. There are also tiny particles floating around in the air - such as salt and dust - these are called aerosols.
What the formation of a cloud?
Clouds form when evaporated water (water vapor) rises into the earth's atmosphere where it eventually condenses and forms water particles. These water particles then rapidly join with particles of dust and also collide to form larger droplets. Large quantities of this amass together to ultimately form a cloud.
How does dust in the air interact with water vapor in the air?
Water condenses around dust particles and becomes clouds.
Raindrops are formed when water vapor condenses on?
particles of dust and other particles in the atmosphere.
What happens to water vapor when it cools then condenses around dust and salt?
When water vapor condenses around dust particles a cloud is formed
What does water vapor collect around to form a cloud?
dust and other particles
What forms when water vapor rises and cools around tiny dust particles?
condensation?
Condensation nuclei are particles of atmospheric dust around which?
"Condensation nuclei" are particles of dust around which a vapor can condense. This term is typically applied to water vapor condensing into raindrops, which then fall from the clouds.
What are particles of dust or salt in air where water vapor condenses on to form clouds?
Condensation Nuclei
Besides water vapor what must be present for a cloud to form?
Solid particles such as dust and water vapors, without either of these, there would be no clouds.
When is it possible to see air?
When it contains smoke, dust, volcanic ash, particles of water vapor, and/or soot
What is the process of clouds forming when water vapor in the air becomes liquid water?
condensation (the water vapor condenses onto the small dust particles in the air creating clouds)
What is a cirrus cloud made up of?
A cirrus cloud is made of water vapor that has condensed on tiny particles of dust.
What consists of a mixture of gases and particles including oxygen nitrogen hydrogen carbon dioxide water vapor and dust?
Atmosphere
