Does Long-wave radiation from the ground pass through the atmosphere without absorption?
The answe to this question is false. Long-wave radiation from the ground does not pass through the atmosphere without absorption.
Why does the atomic bomb make a mushroom cloud?
== == Any thermonuclear device creates a mushroom cloud because of the immense heat. Any explosion can create a mushroom cloud, as long as it can heat the gases enough to allow them to rise. The rising air lifts off the ground rapidly, until it reaches a height where the other gases are more dense. The falling gases then get sucked back into the "stem" as the rising gases are moving rapidly enough to create a vacuum. The "mushroom" phenomenon is created whenever there is a density differential between two bodies of fluid, called a "Rayleigh-Taylor Instability". This is mathematically dictated by Navier-Stokes equations.

Can a waterspout go over land?
A waterspout can transition from water to land but becomes a tornado as long as it is touching land; if it is not touching the ground it would be called a "funnel cloud".
How long can a tornado s funnel be?
The visible funnel usually extends from the clouds to the ground but the vortex can extend several miles up into the storm.
Can tornadoes turn sideways?
A tornado can become bend in such a way that a portion of the funnel is sideways, yes. However, it the vortex is completely sideways so that it does not make contact witht he ground. If you see a long cloud that seems to rotate on its side during a thunderstorm, what you see is most likely not a tornado but a roll cloud.
Does the size of a funnel cloud at the ground make a difference as to how long it will last?
It is not uncommon for larger tornadoes to last longer, but not always. For example, the first of two tornadoes near Happy, Texas on May 5, 2002 had an extremely larger funnel, but lasted only about 15 minutes, while other, smaller tornadoes have lasted for over an hour.
What is the name of a long stemmed funnel?
a long stemd funnel is a thistle tube funnel
What does it look like when a tornado is about to form?
It varies, but it will always occur during a thunderstorm. If that area of the storm is not obscured by rain or the dark of night you will usually see a rotating block of clouds lowered from the main cloud base called a wall cloud. Near this a downdraft will blast a hole in the clouds. Not long afterwards there will likely be strong winds. Then the funnel begins to lower from the wall cloud and a swirl of dust or debris may appear on the ground below it as the tornado connects to the ground.
