It is unknown why salt is actually used for cloud seeding. However, many feel that it is because it is economical and would harm the environment the least.

What cloud seeding does to a cloud?
it makes it precipitate
Is cloud seeding for hot countries?
Cloud seeding requires clouds and in hot countries such as Egypt or Africa. I doubt there are any clouds so i would say no cloud seeding is not for hot countries.
How is cloud seeding done?
first, people fly a plane over the clouds, they spray salt over them, the water droplets in the cloud mix with the salt, and combine to make a large rain drop, and, last but not least, it rains.
Where does cloud seeding happen?
Cloud seeding is done in arid areas - where clouds might form, but not produce rain. Seeding the cloud with microscopic 'dust' - forces water droplets to form - which eventually combine and fall as rain.
What is the name for cloud seeding compound?
iodide
What is artificial rain inducement?
Artificial rain inducement is know as cloud seeding. There are three methods for cloud seeding: static, dynamic and hygroscopic.Static cloud seeding is done by spreading silver iodide, or another chemical substance like it, into clouds. The moisture in the air condenses around the silver iodide molecules and then falls to the ground in the form of rain.Dynamic cloud seeding is basically a much more complex form of static cloud seeding. Dynamic cloud seeding is divided into eleven complicated steps, and failure to properly complete one of them can result in the ruin of the entire project. Thus, dynamic cloud seeding is generally considered more unstable than static cloud seeding.Hygroscopic cloud seeding involves shooting salt crystals into the lower regions of clouds. The moisture in the clouds condenses on the salt crystals and than falls down to the grown as rain.
How is salt used in cloud-seeding?
the use of hygroscopic materials, such as SALT. 1.what is hygroscopic materials? -it is the ability of a substances to attract and hold water molecules from the sourrounding environments.

no
What are the harmful effects of cloud seeding in the industrialization on the atmosphere and the measure being used to combat?
Cloud seeding uses Silver Iodide to provide nuclei for water to form droplets on. Like most chemicals, Silver Iodide can be harmful if ingested in large quantities, but this requires massive and/or continued exposure. Studies in 1977 and 1981 showed minimal residual traces after cloud seeding. Approximately 50 tons are used each year for this purpose, which is a very small amount in comparison to the total volume of the atmosphere. The effectiveness of cloud seeding is debatable - several organizations have given up on trying to use it in a systematic manner - eg the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) gave up trying to mitigate hurricanes with cloud seeding in 1968 Rumors linking cloud seeding to the chemtrail hoax exist, however barium is not used for cloud seeding.

Cons of cloud seeding?
well i am not really sheer
Does cloud seeding harm humans?
no, we harm clouds.
