The storms that produce tornadoes often produce hail as well. The presence of hail causes light to be refracted in an unusual way.

Where do tornadoes form you the sky or on ground?
Tornadoes form from the sky.
What causes the clouds to turn green when there is a tornado?
A green sky doesn't necessarily indicate tornadoes, nor are tornadoes always accompanied by a green sky. Tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms. Generally speaking, the stronger a thunderstorm is, the taller it is and the more moisture it holds. The large amounts of condensed moisture refract light, separating out the different colors. This, combined with the fact that tornadoes often occur in the late afternoon when the sun is low can lead unusual lighting conditions, and make the clouds appear green, blue, or yellow.
Do Tornadoes glow green?
No. Tornadoes do no glow at all. The sky before or during a tornado may appear greenish, though.
What color does the sky turn to when a tornado?
The sky can be any number of colors. Of of the time it's gray, but due to various lighting effect, the sky during tornadoes can also be black and even yellow or green.
Does it mean there will be a tornado if the sky is yellowish?
No sky color necessarily means that a tornado will form. A yellow sky during or before a tornado is due to the fact that most tornadoes form in the late afternoon or early evening and often take place around sunset.
Why is it yellow outside before a tornado?
The sky can be a number of colors before and during a tornado. While gray is the most common green and yellow are not uncommon. This a result of two factors. First, tornadoes typically form in the late afternoon or early evening and so it is not uncommon for them to form at or near sunset, this allows for unusual lightning conditions. Second, tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms that have powerful updrafts and hold large amounts of moisture in the upper levels. This results in unusual refractions of color when the sun is low in the sky.
Are tornadoes some type of precipitation?
No. Tornadoes are a type of violent, rotating wind storm that forms during a thunderstorm. Precipitation occurs when moisture either in solid or liquid form falls from the sky.
Can tornadoes form?
Yes, tornadoes can form. Hundreds, even thousands of tornadoes form every year.
Do tornadoes form from thunderclouds?
Yes. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms.
Do tornadoes form on mountains?
Tornadoes can form in mountains, but most do not.
Do tornadoes have shadows?
Sometimes. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms and it is difficult to cast a shadow with an overcast sky. In some cases, though, the sun shines in from the side and illuminates a tornado, in which case it would cast a shadow.
Were does tornadoes happened?
in the sky especially when a Storm coming (and everybody knows it happens in the sky)
