What is space ice called?

Space ice is often referred to as "cryogenic ice" or "interstellar ice" due to its extremely cold temperatures and formation in outer space. This ice is typically composed of water molecules that have condensed and frozen in the frigid conditions of space.


What happens when a hot cloud and cold cloud meet?

When a hot cloud and a cold cloud meet, the warm air of the hot cloud rises above the cold air of the cold cloud. This can lead to the formation of thunderstorms or precipitation, as the warm and cold air masses interact and create instability in the atmosphere.


Why does your breath forms a cloud on a cold day?

When you exhale in cold weather, the warm air from your lungs meets the cold air outside and condenses into tiny water droplets. This condensation creates the visible cloud or mist that you see when you breathe out in the cold.


The interstellar clouds called molecular clouds are .?

Molecular clouds are cold, dense regions in interstellar space made up of gas and dust where new stars can form. They are primarily composed of molecular hydrogen (H2) and are some of the coldest objects in the universe, with temperatures around -260 degrees Celsius. These clouds can be massive, often spanning tens to hundreds of light-years in size.


Can you freeze a cloud?

Yes, under certain conditions, it is possible for a cloud to freeze. This can occur at high altitudes where temperatures are extremely cold, causing the water droplets in the cloud to freeze into ice crystals.

How can increased cloud coverage increase average surface temperature?

Cloud cover acts as a barrier or blanket preventing heat from rising into space. This is why deserts, with no cloud, are often extremely cold at night.

What two elements combine to make ammonia which is found in cold interstellar gas clouds?

Ammonia is a compound of the elements hydrogen and nitrogen.


What is temperature of the air and cloud when it rains?

The air temperature of the air is cold when it rains and the cloud temperature is cold when it rains


Radio waves of 21cm wavelength originate from which component of the interstellar medium?

Cold atomic hydrogen


What type of telescope would be used to study a dense cold cloud in space?

A dense cold gas cloud in space would not be visible by its own light, but it would block the light from stars behind it. So we could analyze the dark cloud by measuring what colors of light were blocked. So, we would need a visible light telescope and a spectrometer.


Why is space cold what really makes space cold?

Lack of heat makes space cold.


What does bright white on an infrared cloud picture indicate?

a cold, high altitude cloud


What causes a cumulonimbus cloud?

What causes a cumulonimbus cloud is the cold and warm fronts that colided.


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.


What front does a cumulonimbus cloud have?

cold front
