The contraption used to hoist Socrates in the air during the production of Aristophanes' play "The Clouds" is called a "deus ex machina." This device was employed in ancient Greek theater to create dramatic effects, often allowing gods or important characters to appear suddenly or to resolve complex situations. In the context of the play, it emphasizes the absurdity of Socrates' character and the themes of the story.

Why rainy clouds are reddish during night?

Different colours of the clouds is due to the water particles in the clouds and the extent of reflection of light. The darker rain clouds are so because they contain many droplets of water. The clouds seem to turn red at night or in the morning due to the way the sun reflects of the water particles as it sets or rises - this is why the saying "red sky at night, sheperds delight" exists, it is thought that the fact the clouds are red at night means that by morning, they will either have dissipated or rained during the night before they are due to work. Red sky in the morning means there are clouds and it may rain. The different shades of grey are the way the light is reflecting on the "shapes" of the clouds, some billow out more and reflect the sun, others are, technically speaking, in shadow.

Why do the clouds go pink during the day?
