What materials make up noctilucent clouds?
The materials that make up noctilucent clouds are tiny water Ice crystals and dust particles.
Which high level cloud is made of tiny pieces of ice that make it look like wispy curls?
These are called "mare's tails" or cirrus clouds and often mean rain is coming.
Can you make sentences with the word clouds?
I saw big clouds yesterday
Why are we not seeding clouds to make rain in this drought?
There is no way for us to make clouds rain when we want them to. If we could do that then we would not be worried to much about it being to dry, we would just make it rain. Why can't seeding the clouds make them rain ?
How do crystals make rainbows?
By reflecting sunlight.
This weekend water will freeze on ice pellets in the clouds and make crystals which will join to other crystals?
hi my but hurts

What type of weather does the Cirrostratus cloud bring?
A cirrus cloud is a thin and wispy cloud composed of ice crystals. They are the highest of clouds, forming in the upper troposphere. They may be thick enough to partially obscure the sunlight, or so tenuous as to be nearly invisible. (photos at related link)
What kind of clouds make ice crystals?
in higher altitutdes cirrus cloud contains ice crystal....but when weather is worse and there is a development of cumulonimbus cloud which develops from groin level to higher altitudes they have ability to develope ice crystals which falls as hailstones
What does cirrus mean in weather?
A wispy and thin cloud that travels in tufts
What kind of clouds can you make shapes with?
You usually see shapes in cumulus clouds.

What kind of bonds make salt crystals?
The right bonds
Why are clouds that form at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
Clouds are made up of very small water droplets which are suspended in the air. If the air continues to cool, the small droplets will join together to form larger droplets or ice crystals. Eventually the weight of the water drops or ice crystals may be heavy enough to make them fall as precipitation(rain, snow, hail or ice). The higher clouds which don't produce precipitation are formed of the crystals while the lower clouds which produce precipitation are formed of water droplets which are the melted crystals.
Why do clouds differ in colors?
Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals, usually a mixture of both. The water and ice scatter all light, making clouds appear white. If the clouds get thick enough or high enough all the light above does not make it through, hence the gray or dark look.
What is an alto cirrus cloud?
How to make crystals?
There are many ways to make crystals from scratch.
