What happens during precipitation process?

Depending on near ground temperatures precipitation will be seen as rain or snow. If the winds aloft are strong enough, the precipitation could be sleet, or hail. You might want to visit a dictionary before asking questions such as this one. The in cloud situation is that water vapor condenses, usually on something in the cloud with it, such as dust particles. Once sufficient moisture has condensed it begins to fall as rain, or snow, typically.


Can you lay on a cloud?

no, a cloud is made of water and dirt particles. so if you were to lay on one you would fall through. this factor enables us to move through things such as fog.


How does a funnel in a tornado form?

The tornado pulls in moist air from the rainy portion of the parent storm. When the air is suddenly decompressed inside the tornado it cools and the moisture condenses, forming a cloud.


Positive and negative charges in cumulonimbus clouds?

During a storm small particles are propelled towards the top of the cloud by strong internal winds. The larger particles fall to the bottom of the cloud. This causes the top of the cloud to develop a strong positive charge, while the bottom of the cloud has a strong negative charge. This induces a positive charge on the ground. This combination is where there is a massive very rapid transfer of electrons, also known as lightning.


What is going to happen when the pressure decreases?

The atoms or molecules causing the pressure have fewer interactions with the container. In meteorology the lower pressure air can not hold as much moisture so some moisture may fall as precipitation. In psychology the mind usually gets more relaxed.

What would you have to do to warm moist air to make a cloud?

Cool it. The moisture in the air condenses to form a cloud when it is cooled. Eventually the moisture droplets are big enough to start to precipitate to form rain. You see your cloud of breath when you walk outside on a cold day and the moisture in your breath condenses to form a visible cloud.


Can a cloud obtain and use energy?

Yes, rising warm moist air adds energy to a cloud. This energy can be released in many forms (e.g. tornados, lightning) and the moisture can fall out in many forms too (e.g. rain, snow, sleet, hail).
