Clouds, which are formed by the condensation of water droplets on fine dust particles higher up in the atmosphere. Fog is also a condensation of water vapor in the air closer to the ground.

Why don't get clouds and rain in an anticyclone?
The air (warm) comes down and takes moisture, rather than releasing it through condensation, which means less clouds form, because clouds are essentially just rain and there is no rain because it's in the anticyclone
Why are cirrus clouds rain clouds?
Cirrus clouds arrive before other clouds as a warm front approaches because the are the leading edge of the front. They typically form as the warm front approaches a cold front or stationary boundary.
Is it true that altostratus clouds are lower than regular stratus clouds?
No it is not :)
Other than bacteria and amoeba what else is in that group?
fungus
What is the difference between hydrogen cycle and water cycle?
By the water cycle, I suspect you mean evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Evaporation is the change from water to water vapor, lifting into the sky, where condensation occurs. What condensation is, is the act of turning the water vapor into large fog banks, called clouds. When precipitation comes around, all the water in the clouds falls in some sort of water (ex. rain, snow, hail, etc.). Runoff is simply the act of the water getting back into rivers, streams, creeks, lakes, and of course oceans. I hope this is what you where looking for! LexaBookworm
When can you expect cumulus clouds?
1) Cumulus clouds are vertically developed clouds. 2) Cumulus clouds have a flat base, which is the location of the lifting condensation level. 3) Cumulus clouds can develop into cumulonimbus clouds. 4) Cumulus clouds have a lifetime of less than an hour.
Why there are few clouds or no clouds in the stratosphere?
The amount of water vapor in the stratosphere is much lower than in the lower atmosphere. The condensation of water vapor is what creates clouds (and rain, hail, snow, and other forms of precipitation) Also because weather occurs in the troposphere, and clouds are formed from water vapor, which is part of the water cycle, which is part of weather
Why do you think tornadoes are called funnel clouds?
The cloud of condensation the a tornado produces is funnel-shaped, wider at the top than at the bottom.
What clouds are higher than cirrus clouds?
there is no other cloud higher than a cirrus cloud
Why don't get clouds and rain in an anticyclone?
The air (warm) comes down and takes moisture, rather than releasing it through condensation, which means less clouds form, because clouds are essentially just rain and there is no rain because it's in the anticyclone
More clouds form in a polluted air because?
The formation of clouds and rain is dependant on small particulate (dust) in the air that for the nucleus of condensation. Some polluted air has more dust than clean air.
Does dew fall from sky or clouds?
dew drops are form when there is a fall in the temperature and condensation takes place faster than the evaporation thus changing gas into liquid droplet hence dew drops does not fall from clouds.
What is the difference between condensation of water vapour and condensation of soft drinks after they evaporate?
the only difference there is that the soft drink condensation has a few additives in it. other than that there is no difference.
What causing condensation?
Condensation is a process by which vapor or gas is converted into liquid. Water vapors which are present in air becomes due to climatic conditions. It is converted into liquids which ultimately forms clouds. The condensation of water will only take place if it condenses on any other surface. The surface is has to be cooler than that of the water vapor. Alternatively the water vapour equilibrium in the air should exceed. The process of condensation results in the formation of clouds and fogs. Precipitation also takes place. Precipitation results when the condensation occurs so much that the air is not able to hold the water any more. Clouds become heavy and then the water from the cloud falls on the earth in the form of rain, hail or snow. The fallen water accumulates into the earth and becomes ground water which gets evaporated and results in the continuation of the water cycle.
What are some examples of condensation?
The formation of clouds by tiny suspended water droplets is a basic one.Other water-based condensation effects include:the visible cloud above a boiling tea kettlethe drops of water that form on a glass of iced tea or other beveragesyour breath when exhaled into cold air or on a mirrorthe water removed from interior air by an air conditionerFor other liquids than water:collection of alcohol and water in a distillation stillsulfuric acid rain high in the clouds of Venusfractional separation of petroleum (gasoline, kerosene, and diesel)
What are the similarities between cirrus and cumulus clouds?
They both start with a "c" and they are both clouds. Other than that, there are more differences than similarities.
Why other clouds produce more rainfall than others?
their formation
