How warm is it inside a tornado?
That is not known. Not enough measurements have been taken from inside a tornado.
What clouds are inside a tornado?
The only cloud you will actually find inside a tornado is the condensation funnel. Other clouds, such as the wall cloud and cumulonimbus are outside the tornado itself.
What is a tornado called in the southern hemisphere?
A tornado in the southern hemisphere is still called a tornado.
Is it cold inside a tornado or warm?
The air inside a tornado is cooler than its surroundings. This is not due to the wind or the fact that it comes from the sky, but from the fact that the pressure in a tornado is low. As air enters a tornado it is decompressed rapidly, and cools as a consequence. This is predicted by gas laws. In many cases the temperature inside a tornado is less than the dew point, which is why the funnel forms.
Does it rain inside a rain-wrapped tornado?
Yes. If a tornado is rain wrapped rain can be drawn into the circulation.
What are objects in a tornado called?
Objects inside a tornado are called debris.
What keeps wind rotating inside a tornado?
The parent circulation of the tornado, called a mesocyclone, keeps a tornado going.
How warm is it inside a tornado?
That is not known. Not enough measurements have been taken from inside a tornado.
Can The eye of the tornado have oxygen in it?
Yes. There is plenty of air inside a tornado, even in the "eye." The pressure is low inside a tornado but certainly not an actual vacuum.
What do they call more than one tornado?
It depends. More than one tornado produce by a cyclic supercell are called a tornado family. Six or more tornadoes produced by the same storm system is called a tornado outbreak. If one tornado forms next to, and circles another it is called a satellite tornado. Another possibility is what is called a multiple vortex tornado. This is a tornado that has several smaller, more intense suction vorticies moving around inside it, almost like mini-twisters. However, it is still considered one tornado even though it may have two or more funnels.
Air pressure inside the funnel cloud of a tornado is extremely what?
The air pressure inside a tornado is very low.
Can a tornado keep you inside?
Considering that you shouldn't go outside during a tornado, yes. You are much safer inside.
What is the density inside a tornado?
Air density inside a tornado is about 5-10% less than that of the air surrounding it.
What clouds are inside a tornado?
The only cloud you will actually find inside a tornado is the condensation funnel. Other clouds, such as the wall cloud and cumulonimbus are outside the tornado itself.
What is a canister filled with insruments to measure inside a tornado?
Packages of instruments put into tornadoes are generically called probes.
Has anyone survived inside a tornado funnel?
Yes, People have survived inside the funnel of a tornado, especially in weaker tornadoes.
What is the difference between the pressure inside and outside a tornado funnel?
The pressure inside a tornado is much lower than it is outside.
