How much do cumulus clouds weigh?
2.2 billion pounds
What normally happens when there are dark black clouds in the sky?
When there are dark clouds in the sky, it is a sign that a rain shower is eminent. Clouds full of precipitation are much more dense than other clouds and as a result less sunlight can shine through causing the clouds to appear black.
What type of weather do stratis clouds usually bring in?
Stratus clouds typically do not bring in much, if any precipitation. "Stratus" is sometimes known as fog. Usually one would expect overcast skies and some drizzle.
Why can we see clouds?
because the clouds are basically watervapour and if there wernt clouds there wouldn't be much rain
What is a cumulus cloud made out of?
as most of the what, 3 types of clouds are made up of dense, cold air & vaporized, suspended water molecules, I'd surmise that cumulus clouds are alike and are made of the same. They might have different characteristics, or they may be different especially in the eyes of a meteorologist, so consulting one of these pros could be essential in knowing EXACTLY what it is you're looking for in your answer. When I fly, which used to be frequently, I almost always look out the planes' windows, and I love watching the wings mostly, only first to the clouds and cloud-cover. It's much like driving through the Blue Ridge Parkway or other mountain ridges at high altitudes, and seeing little or no real difference in those types of low clouds, fog, "mist", or other air-suspended precipitation, I'd say it's nearly the same, except some subtle differences. When clouds of many types get too heavy and full of water vapor (which could be another way of saying what clouds are made of, I guess), then rain occurs. If the temperature is below freezing either in that part of the atmosphere, or in the lower parts, then things like hail, snow, freezing rain (dangerous on the groud, when driving, for example), & others will be what eventually makes it to the groud. But there's a chance that cumulus clouds could be actually made of a different type of water vapor, or the vapor has different properties, in which case the cloud's contents could be a bit different than simple water vapor/suspended water molecules. I'm not a meteorologist nor am I anything but a college grad. So, this "answer" and subsequent writing is just something I sometimes like to do- answer to the best of my knowledge, especially if it's a question that's relatively easy for me, or intelligent and/or interesting. But, I still hope that it helped out.
What clouds cover much of the sky?
i believe it is the cumulus
How much do cumulus clouds weigh?
2.2 billion pounds
Do cumulonimbus clouds appear in tornadoes?
Cumulus clouds don't so much appear in tornadoes. It is more accurate to say that tornadoes descend from cumulonimbus clouds.
What kind of weather do cumulus clouds occur in?
cumulus-brings usually sunny weathercumulonimbus- are the dark grey ones that result in thunderstormscirrus- are the clouds that look like feathersstratus- are the one that usually result in a steady drizzle and cover the sky like a blanket
Layered clouds that often cover much of the sky and are dull gray color are called?
Clouds that form in layers or flat patches are called stratus clouds. They can cover the entire sky and usually do not have precipitation that falls from them.
What makes Cucumboloimbus clouds so fluffy?
The precipitation and the Constant state of so much air in it
What force pulls precipitation from the clouds during the water cycle?
too much water in the cloud
What are characteristics of nimbus clouds?
a dark cloud that produces precipatation. Between 7,000 and 15,000 feet in the air.they are crapy smapy.are the common that took like puffy balls of cotton and may be well define within open sky. In un stable air the become very tall and may lead to the formation of thunder clouds (cumulonimbus)
How much precipitation is produced in a considerable tornado?
Tornadoes do not produce precipitation. Tornadoes are usually often accompanied by precipitation, but the amount is not related to the strength of the tornado.
What normally happens when there are dark black clouds in the sky?
When there are dark clouds in the sky, it is a sign that a rain shower is eminent. Clouds full of precipitation are much more dense than other clouds and as a result less sunlight can shine through causing the clouds to appear black.
What on the sun produce heat energy to power to what cycle?
the water cycle the heat absorbers the water from the sea that is called precipitation then the water goes to the clouds when it holds up too much water droplets it falls out in the ocean that is called condensation
Why do Russia and the Republics receive limited precipitation?
Primarily because of its continental location, far from a large body of water to provide moisture. Additionally, the closest ocean is the Arctic for much of this region, and the Arctic Ocean is frozen much of the year which removes it as a source of moisture. Therefore, the air masses that move through these regions have limited amounts of water to work with to produce clouds and precipitation.
