During the day, the earth is heated by the sun. If skies are clear, more heat reaches the earth's surface. However, if skies are cloudy, some of the sun's rays are reflected off the cloud droplets back into space. Therefore, less of the sun's energy is able to reach the earth's surface, which causes the earth to heat up more slowly. This leads to cooler temperatures.

Does cloud formation depend on temperature and air pressure or temperature and rainfall?
It's rainfall
At which point will a cloud form?
when the temperature of the rising air falls below the dew point
Which type of precipitation is most likely to occur when the cloud and air temperature are above freezing?
hail
What makes a funnel cloud?
A funnel cloud forms when the vortex of a developing tornado draws in moist air. As the air enters the vortex it undergoes a pressure drop, which in turn produce a temperature drop. This causes the moisture to condense and form a funnel cloud.
What is happening in the air when a funnel cloud is forming?
Air is being pulled upward int a rotating vortex with a low pressure center. The low pressure produces a temperature drop, causing moisture in the air to condense.
What l type of satellite is used to monitor cloud cover and air temperature?
Meteroligical satellite
What is temperature of the air and cloud when it rains?
The air temperature of the air is cold when it rains and the cloud temperature is cold when it rains
How does the temperature of a body of air usually change when a cloud forms?
The temperature of a body of air will typically decrease when a cloud forms. This is because the cloud forms a buffer between the air and the suns warming rays.
the air in a cool region underneath cloud cover will have ____ a region with no cloud cover?
a higher density than... apex
The air in a cool region underneath cloud cover will have a region with no cloud cover.?
a higher density than... apex
The air in cool region underneath cloud cover will have a region with no cloud cover?
a higher density than... apex
What air in a cool region under neath cloud cover will have other than a region with no cloud cover?
a higher density
What air in a cool region under neath cloud cover will have other than a regio with no cloud cover?
a higher density
What will the air in a cool region underneath cloud cover have?
What
What will air in a cool region underneath cloud cover have?
What
At what temperature does cumulonimbus clouds form?
It depends on the temperature of the air around the cloud. A cumulus cloud is formed by warm air rising into a layer of cooler air, so the base of the cloud will be warmer and the air will get colder toward the top of the cloud. If water vapor condenses out of the air as it rises in the cloud, this will warm up the air in the middle of the cloud.
What elements make up a weather report?
Precipitation, Temperature, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Humidity, Air Pressure, Cloud Cover and Visibility.
