From a meteorological perspective, these particles would be referred to as "condensation nuclei". They provide a surface on which water vapor can condense. This leads to the formation of haze and clouds.
A couple of examples of condensation nuclei are dust and salt particles.

What is the atmoshpere of Jupiter?

Jupiter's atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of other gases like methane and ammonia. It is known for its colorful bands of clouds made up of ammonia crystals and ice particles. The atmosphere also contains powerful storms, most notably the Great Red Spot, a giant storm larger than Earth.


What may form when moisture condenses on small particles in the atmosphere?

AnswerWhen moisture condenses on small particles in the atmosphere, precipitation is formed. Depending on the chemical make up of the particles, the precipitation can have different effects. When the particles are composed of sulfur compounds, made from the burning of fossil fuels like coal, acid rain is formed and falls on the ecosystems below. Acid rain can drastically change an ecosystem by contaminating forests and freshwater resources.

What things absorb energy in the Atmosphere?

there are plenty of things in the atmosphere that absorb energy. most obvious known is ozone that absorbs harmful UV rays from the sun. Also there is dust/dirt particles in the atmosphere that are so small that when a beam of light hits it, it reflects blue light giving the impression of a blue atmosphere.
