What would happen to the hieght of the cloud base if the dewpoint temperature were lower?

The lifting condensation level (height of cloud base) would rise, in theory. That's assuming you lower the dew point throughout the atmospheric column.

What factor should you include in a description of weather?
temperature and cloud coverwind speed and humidityair pressure and wind direction
At what temperature does cumulonimbus clouds form?
It depends on the temperature of the air around the cloud. A cumulus cloud is formed by warm air rising into a layer of cooler air, so the base of the cloud will be warmer and the air will get colder toward the top of the cloud. If water vapor condenses out of the air as it rises in the cloud, this will warm up the air in the middle of the cloud.
The average temperature of the typical dark dust cloud is about?
100 K
What does high cloud cover at night do to weather?
it makes the temperature cooler.
What temp does clouds form?
Condensation (cloud formation) will occur when dew point temperature equals ambient temperature.
What would happen to the height of the cloud base if the dewpoint temperature were lower?
The height of the cloud base would be higher because the low level moisture decreases.
What is the relation between altitude of a base cloud and the temperature of the air at that altitude?
The base of the cloud occurs at the dewpoint temperature of the airmass. See: http://www.csgnetwork.com/estcloudbasecalc.html
How does humidity relate to cloud formation?
When the temperature of the air matches the dewpoint temperature clouds are expected to form.If the temperature is above 0 then the cloud is made of water droplets. When the temperature is below 0 than the cloud would be made up of snow crystals or super cooled water.
What is the proccess called when cloud droplets collide to form larger droplets?
Coalescenceno its dew point or dewpoint.
What happen before a blizzard?
The primary things that happen before a blizzard are a drop in temperature and an increase in cloud cover. The sky will begin to darken as the imminent storm approaches.
What is temperature of the air and cloud when it rains?
The air temperature of the air is cold when it rains and the cloud temperature is cold when it rains
Can A Tornado Happen With No Clouds?
No, it can not happen. You will always need a cloud to form a tornado. The kind of cloud that a tornado uses is a cumulonimbus cloud.
What was the temperature and cloud cover on December in Kansas city?
Cloud cover does not have a temperature. It affects the rate of heating or cooling.
When did Dark Cloud happen?
Dark Cloud happened in 2000.
When did Cloud Kingdoms happen?
Cloud Kingdoms happened in 1990.
Why does water vapor condense?
The air needs to be cooled, the amount depending on how much water vapour is in it. When it's cooled sufficiently the water vapour will condense on solid things as water, or become very small droplets (fog/cloud). When this happens in the early mornings we call it dew, and the temperature at which the water will condense is known as the dewpoint.
What is the cloud temperature when it snows?
About 3
