Scientists believe that lightning is formed when air and ice particles rub against one another in a cloud.
cirrus clouds cant rain because they are to high the altitude in them is just to much. and the cloud is only ice crystal
A 6 sided crystal
Cirrus clouds
Mostly ice crystals.
a cloud is formed
Cirrus clouds
The thin and wispy cirrus cloud is made up of mostly ice crystals.
Cirrus Clouds
No. A cirrus cloud is a high, wavy, thin cloud formed of ice crystals. Funnel clouds are usually formed from cumulonimbus clouds (thunderclouds) at lower altitudes.
hail
No
It is very cold up there, and water droplets freeze into ice.
Generally, none. Cirrus cloud is formed of ice particles at high altitudes so there is no precipitation which reaches the ground.
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
The three ingredients needed to form a snowflake are as follows:water vaporice crystalsdust.Ice crystals form when water vapor freezes on a microscopic piece of dust. This dust can come from volcanoes, flower pollen, meteorites falling stars, soil erosion and much more. Snow begins forming in a very cold cloud that has both super cold water droplets and ice crystals. When water vapor droplets collide with a piece of already formed ice crystal, the droplet freezes to it making it grow into a slightly larger new ice crystal. The shape of the snow crystal is determined by the temperature in the cloud. The size of an ice crystal is determined by moisture in the cloud.
Cirrus (Ci): The ice-crystal cloud is a feathery white cloud that is the highest in the sky. It has a wispy looking tail that streaks across the sky and is called a fallstreak. - Kidzworld dot com
