Which form of precipitation undergo change after they leave a cloud?
Rain and snow are forms of precipitation that can undergo changes after leaving a cloud. Rain can freeze into sleet or hail if temperatures are cold enough, while snow can melt into rain if temperatures warm up.
Why do you use salt in cloud seeding?
Salt is used in cloud seeding to help create ice nuclei in clouds, which can trigger the precipitation process. By introducing salt particles into clouds, it provides a surface for water droplets to freeze upon and form ice crystals, which can then grow and fall as precipitation.
When frozen rain moves up and down within an anvil cloud forms what?
When frozen rain moves up and down within an anvil cloud, it can lead to the formation of hail. The repeated cycling of ice particles through the cloud allows them to accumulate layers of supercooled water, which freeze upon contact. Once they become too heavy to be supported by the updrafts, they fall to the ground as hailstones. This process is typical in severe thunderstorms with strong updrafts.
How many different types of lighting strikes are there?
There are three main types of lightning strikes: cloud-to-ground strikes, intra-cloud strikes, and cloud-to-cloud strikes. Cloud-to-ground strikes are the most common and well-known type, where lightning extends from the cloud to the ground. Intra-cloud strikes occur within the cloud itself, and cloud-to-cloud strikes happen between different clouds.
Which cloud forms hail?
Hail forms in cumulonimbus clouds, which are large, dense, and towering clouds associated with thunderstorms. Within these clouds, strong updrafts carry raindrops high into the atmosphere where they freeze, forming hailstones. These hailstones can grow larger as they are then circulated within the storm cloud before eventually falling to the ground.
When cloud droplets collect and freeze around an ice crystal over and over what happens?
a cloud is formed
What is the process that turn water into ice?
atoms in cloud freeze from rain to hail
When cloud droplets collect and freeze around and ice crystal and the process repeats over and over?
No
How can a cloud produce both hail and rain?
the rain droplets can fall and some of them could be blown upward and freeze because of the wind
What is the species of the diminutive workers on cloud city who helped freeze Han Solo in carbonate?
They were called Ugnaughts.
What happens when water droplets hit ice pellets in a cloud and freeze?
When water droplets hit ice pellets in a cloud and freeze, they form larger ice particles called graupel. This process is known as accretion. Graupel can continue to grow as more water droplets freeze onto it, eventually becoming large enough to fall as precipitation.
Does snow freeze in the cloud or does it freeze in the air ONCE it comes out of the cloud?
All snow begins as snow through what is called the Bergeron process. Water droplets within a cloud get drawn to the tiny ice crystals in the cloud due to their lower vapor pressure. In doing so, they diffuse onto the ice crystals, causing them to grow. When they become large enough, they fall out of the cloud as snowflakes.
How can the same cumulonimbus cloud produce rain or hail?
A cumulonimbus cloud can produce rain or hail depending on the strength of updrafts within the cloud. If the updrafts are strong enough to carry water droplets high into the cloud where they freeze, hailstones may form. If the updrafts are not as strong, the water droplets will fall as rain.
When the temperature of a cloud is below -18 degrees Celsius what does the cloud consits almost entirely of?
When the temperature of a cloud is below -18 degrees Celsius, the cloud consists almost entirely of ice crystals. Water droplets freeze around condensation nuclei at these temperatures, forming ice crystals that make up the cloud.
When the temperature of a cloud is below 18C the cloud consists almost entirely of?
When the temperature of a cloud is below 18°C, the cloud consists almost entirely of ice crystals. This is because water droplets freeze into ice crystals at temperatures below 0°C. These ice crystals can then collide and combine to form snowflakes.
How does hale form?
Hail is formed when a thundercloud has a strong updraft, a lot of water, and a large cloud layer with below freezing temperatures. The updraft takes the water up through the cold cloud layer causing it to freeze into hailstones.
Where is a comet located?
Comets are believed to have originated from asteroids in a sort of 'cloud', called the 'Oort Cloud'. It is thought all comets come from the Oort Cloud, which is a cloud of asteroids beyond the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune. When one asteroid is knocked off from its orbit from the Oort Cloud, it makes really long trips around the Sun, which is why it becomes a comet. All of the asteroids in the Oort Cloud have some type of ice on them, since they are so far away from the sun that everything in the Oort Cloud seems to freeze.
