What is a cloud?
== == Very simply, a cloud is "FOG" that is above the Earth's surface, rather than in contact with the ground.Clouds and fog are one and the same thing, very tiny droplets of condensed water vapor, so small that they do not have enough weight to fall to the Earth, and consequently they just float around in the air. IF and when enough of these droplets of condensed water vapor, collide and stick together, they become heavy enough for gravity to cause them to fall to Earth, and that is what we call rain. Other forms of precipitation occur when the vapor (or rain) is exposed to colder temperatures. === ===Clouds are formed when water vapour in the air is cooled and condenses as part of the water cycle. Clouds consist of billions of tiny water droplets (and even ice crystals) floating in the sky and appear in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on how and where they formed.I found this answer at http://www.rcn27.dial.pipex.com/cloudsrus/clouds.HTMLHope this helps.
Why does water eventually fall from clouds?
Water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into liquid water droplets as it cools and reaches saturation. When these droplets become large enough, they fall from clouds as precipitation such as rain or snow due to the force of gravity pulling them towards the Earth's surface.
When rain falls from clouds and freezes along the way?
It is Sleet. Hail is when water droplets condense out of the cloud and are carried upwards in a draught to a colder refion, whereupon the water droplets freeze into ice. and fall to Earth as hail.
A cloud on the earths surface?
A cloud on Earth's surface is a fog. Fog occurs when the air near the ground cools to its dew point, causing water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets. This reduces visibility and can affect travel and daily activities.
What the formation of a cloud?
Clouds form when evaporated water (water vapor) rises into the earth's atmosphere where it eventually condenses and forms water particles. These water particles then rapidly join with particles of dust and also collide to form larger droplets. Large quantities of this amass together to ultimately form a cloud.
When cloud droplets combine to form larger drops they fall to earth as what?
When cloud droplets combine to form larger drops, they fall to the Earth as rain.
What Cloud droplets combine and grow large enough to fall to earth?
Precipitation. Usually it is rain, but it could be sleet, snow, or hail.
What happens when cloud droplets combine to form larger drops they fall as earth as?
When cloud droplets combine to form larger drops, they become heavy enough to overcome the uplift in the atmosphere and fall to Earth as precipitation (rain or snow). This process is known as coalescence, where smaller droplets collide and merge to form larger drops due to gravity.
When cloud droplets combine to form larger drops they fall to Earth as?
precipitation
When moisture in a cloud is heavy enough to fall back to Earth it is called what?
When liquid water droplets are big enough to fall to Earth, we call it rain.
Why do the cloud droplets fall onto the earth?
Cloud droplets fall to Earth as precipitation when they grow large enough to overcome air resistance. This can happen when they coalesce into larger droplets or freeze into ice crystals. Gravity then pulls them down as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Why do the cloud droplets not fall to the earth0?
Why do the clouds droplets not fall to the earth
What is the correct order of processes that occur for water to move from a lake to a cloud and then turn into rain?
Evaporation: Water from the lake is heated by the sun and turns into water vapor, rising into the atmosphere. Condensation: The water vapor cools and condenses into tiny water droplets, forming clouds. Precipitation: When the water droplets in the cloud combine and become heavy enough, they fall back to the Earth's surface as rain.
Does clouds have water droplets?
By definition, a cloud is microscopic water droplets. Brought down to earth level, a cloud is called "fog" - which is the same thing: microscopic water droplets.
On Earth rain falls to the ground from which of these things?
Rain falls to the ground from clouds when water droplets in the clouds combine to form larger droplets that become heavy enough to fall due to gravity.
How do water droplets falling out of a thundercloud get bigger as they fall towards the earth's surface?
they get bigger because the water droplets are cold and there is also water vapour in the air which is hotand when they meet the water vapour changes back to water droplets which then combine with the water droplets falling from the thunder cloud!!
Why don't cloud droplets fall to Earth as soon as they are formed?
droplets need to get big and heavy before they fall
