What most occur for rain to fall from a cloud?
Clouds are really water vapor and when water vapor gets heavy, water just drips down to the ground, causing rain fall.
What initiates the fall of rain from a cloud?
Clouds are made up of really tiny water droplets. Once they build up to be heavy enough, they fall! That is what makes rain fall!
What moisture in a cloud is heavy enough to fall back to Earth?
The moisture in a cloud that is heavy enough to fall back to Earth primarily consists of water droplets or ice crystals that have coalesced to form larger particles. When these droplets grow to a size of about 0.5 millimeters or more, they become heavy enough to overcome the updrafts in the cloud and begin to fall as precipitation, such as rain or snow. This process is influenced by factors like temperature, humidity, and cloud dynamics.
When moisture in a cloud is heavy enough to fall back to Earth it is called what?
When liquid water droplets are big enough to fall to Earth, we call it rain.
Why do large drops of rain fall from a cumulonimbus cloud?
Large drops of rain fall from cumulonimbus clouds due to the strong updrafts within the cloud that keep precipitation suspended in the cloud until the drops become too heavy to be supported. Once the drops become too heavy, they fall to the ground as rain.
When drops of water in a cloud become heavy enough they fall to Earth as?
Rain or if it freezes, hail.
Why does moisture fall from a cloud?
Moisture falls from a cloud in the form of precipitation when water droplets in the cloud combine to form larger droplets, which become heavy enough to overcome the force of updrafts that keep them suspended. These larger droplets then fall to the ground due to gravity.
When water droplets in a cloud combine become too heavy and fall to the ground as rain snow sleet or hail are expriencing?
precipitation
What causes clouds and precipitation?
Evaporation. When ground water evaporates it turns in to water molecules. the molecules condense and form a cloud when the water in the cloud becomes too heavy the water fall in some form of precipitation. (i.e. rain, snow, sleet, hale...)
Is hail already frozen when it starts to fall?
Yes it is. Hail is simply water droplets that have been frozen while 'suspended' in a thunder cloud. The droplets get 'tossed around' by air currents in the cloud - until they're too heavy, and fall to earth.
How can the same cumulonimbus cloud produce rain and hail?
Inside a cumulonimbus cloud, there are updrafts that carry water droplets to colder altitudes where they freeze into hailstones. These hailstones can grow as they move up and down in the cloud, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall to the ground as hail. At the same time, the cloud produces rain from the water droplets that don't freeze into hailstones and are too heavy to remain in the cloud.
When moisture in a cloud is heavy enough to fall back to Earth it is called .?
