Visible masses if tiny water droplets above Earth's surface?
The tiny water droplets in the sky form clouds.
If Water is heavier than air so why do clouds stay up in the sky?
Because all the droplets haven't come together yet so it isn't as heavy as water yet. Water vapor (a gas) rises up until it gets cool enough to turn to droplets. These droplets are clouds in all their amazing forms.
Why do clouds form before rain?
Clouds form when water vapor condenses into tiny liquid droplets. If enough condensation occurs in a cloud then some of the droplets will grow bigger and fall as rain.
Where above the earth are most stratus clouds made of water droplets?
There altitude is less than 2000 meters
What do water droplets from the air form?
water droplets in the air form rain which is part of the water cycle
How do water droplets falling out of a thundercloud get bigger as they fall towards the earth's surface?
they get bigger because the water droplets are cold and there is also water vapour in the air which is hotand when they meet the water vapour changes back to water droplets which then combine with the water droplets falling from the thunder cloud!!
What occurs when water droplets in the atmosphere become heavier than the air surrounding them can hold?
precipitation
Does clouds have water droplets?
By definition, a cloud is microscopic water droplets. Brought down to earth level, a cloud is called "fog" - which is the same thing: microscopic water droplets.
Visible masses if tiny water droplets above Earth's surface?
The tiny water droplets in the sky form clouds.
What is it called when water droplets fall to the earth?
condensation
What occurs when water droplets in the air become heavier than the air can hold?
Precipitation in the form of rain.
What are water droplets in the clouds are pulled back to earth by?
gravity
Water droplets in the clouds are pulled back to Earth by .?
gravity
How do you get tar sand out of the ground?
The oil sands are dug out of the ground with huge shovels and dumped in ...droplets to merge in to bigger water droplets so they can be separated out.
What Fog is droplets of water and not carbon dioxide?
All fog (on Earth).
How does precipitation develop?
Precipitation develops and occurs by the process of collision-coalescence. Collision-coalescence occurs when water droplets collide together to form larger droplets. These droplets get pulled to earth by gravity. Updrafts can send them back up but they will still grow larger and eventually fall to earth. The pure water remains as droplet and can super cool (-20C) below freezing. Ice crystals (super cooled water droplets) act as nucleation sites. The density of water vapor in the air prior to saturation is light and gets heavier as water droplets form. Ice or snow can occur, unless frozen water is warmed as it falls through the atmosphere resulting in rain. Dust and gas particles in the atmopshere can also act as nucleation sites for condensation to form upon. This will help create precipitation that eventually falls to earth due to weight and gravity processes.
What does water do in the water cycle?
Gets evaporated into condensation. Water droplets get formed by the condensation & the more condensation gets added to the droplet, the heavier the droplet gets. When water droplets get heavy enough, they fall (this is called Precipitation). Water also gets evaporated from the trees (this is called Transpiration).
