The cloud starts of with a lot of protons and electrons. Soon enough, the electrons start to get pulled down in the cloud because of the protons on Earth. Also, it is electrons and not protons that get pulled down because protons are harder to move because they are in the center of the nuclei in an atom. In other words, the protons on Earth cause charge separation in clouds because opposites attract, and the protons on the ground pull the electrons down.

What causes the charge separation in clouds?
The protons on Earth cause the charge separation in clouds. When these charges are powerful enough, the cloud's electricity is discharged toward the Earth's surface, causing lightning.
What causes cloud formation?
When water evaporates into vapor it makes clouds...

What causes clouds to reflect a portion of sunlight back to space?
Clouds can reflect some light back to space depending on the water content in the clouds. The water causes a prism which reflects light back into space.
What causes starts to form out of gas clouds?
Gravity

What geometric arrangement of charge clouds is expected for an atom that has four charge clouds?
Tetrahedral
What causes clouds to precipitate?
the rain and the clouds when there big

What causes most clouds to form?
the thing that causes most clouds to form was your mom sucker yegh she did
How does static electricity build up in clouds?
Lightning
How do thunderstorms happen grade 6 level?
positive charge clouds and negative charge clouds touch and lightning comes down. BUT IT MAINLY IS ZEUS

What is the separation between these two charges?
I assuming you are meaning the potential difference of an electrical charge. Matter is made up of atoms, which contain protons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge. The 'separation' is that one side has a different ratio of protons/electron charge to that of the other side. The difference is measured in volts, and when connected together using conductive material will cause the radios to become more equal, this causes a current, which is measured in amps.
Is it true that clusters of water cause clouds to be white?
no. water causes clouds to be gray
What causes thunder clouds condensation lighting or rain?
condensation creates thunder clouds.
