What is the role of nuclei in condensation?

Nuclei in condensation plays an important role in cloud formation. The cloud formation produces precipitation, which is important for water to return to the Earth's surface.


What causes a funnel cloud?

Afunnel cloud is a funnel-shaped cloud of condensed water droplets, associated with a rotating column of wind and extending from the base of a cloud (usually a cumulonimbus or towering cumulus cloud) but not reaching the ground or a water surface. A funnel cloud is usually visible as a cone-shaped or needle like protuberance from the main cloud base. Funnel clouds form most frequently in association with supercell thunderstorms.If a funnel cloud touches the ground it becomes a tornado. Most tornadoes begin as funnel clouds, but many funnel clouds do not make ground contact and so do not become tornadoes. Also, a tornado does not necessarily need to have an associated condensation funnel---if strong cyclonic winds are occurring at the surface (and connected to a cloud base, regardless of condensation), then the feature is a tornado. Some tornadoes may appear only as a debris swirl, with no obvious funnel cloud extending below the rotating cloud base.A funnel cloud that touches down on, or moves over water is a waterspout.


Clear nights are colder than cloudy nights because?

There is no cloud cover to reflect heat back to the surface. Heat escapes into space.
