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.
fair weather cloud is the stratus cloud...
Cloud cover is a noun. "Expect lots of cloud cover today."
Cloud watchers.
a dust cloud
Different parts of a cloud have opposite charges due to the vertical movement of water droplets and ice particles inside the cloud. Updrafts carry lighter, positively charged particles to the top of the cloud while heavier, negatively charged particles are carried to the bottom by downdrafts. This separation of charges creates the electric fields within the cloud.
The water droplets coming out of vapour phase in a cloud reflect sunlight. This makes the sunwards side of a cloud shiny white and the opposite side of the cloud dark and grey.
It is called Cloud-to-Cloud lightning for obvious reasons. It is caused by ice particles in the cloud rubbing together, foming electric charges. When enough charge is formed, it may jump to another cloud with an opposite charge. Hope this helped. :D
Evaporation is basically when water goes back up in the sky and becomes a cloud. Condensation is the opposite, where it goes back down on surface from the cloud, otherwise known as rain.
An equal and opposite charge to the charge at the cloud base is induced. As the cloud moves, this charge moves across the ground, staying under the centre of the cloud.
Just the opposite. Fog nearly touches the Earth; it is low in the sky.
There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).
Yes. Although the development of these charges is still mostly understood, the buildup of opposite charges in the clouds can create a discharge (lightning) between the cloud and the ground, or the cloud and another cloud. Sometimes the distribution of charges can be seen in a dendritic (forked) pattern of lightning bolts. (see related link)
A clear antonym for "funnel cloud" would be "clear sky" or "blue sky." These terms indicate opposite weather conditions, with funnel clouds associated with severe weather and clear skies indicating fair weather.
The nebula in a galaxy is a dead star, long dead, possibly about to turn into a black hole. actually, its the opposite: nebula is like a cloud of space trash. when the "cloud" gets too big, it explodes. the bigger the explosion, the bigger the new star.
Lightning is just really large static. Lightning between clouds is called cloud lightning or sheet lightning and is caused when one cloud has an excessive charge and another cloud has an excessive amount of the opposite cloud. The lightning is used to relieve the clouds charge.
Because the nucleus is a bundle of positive charges, and the electron cloud is a bundle of negative charges. It's no mystery why they feel forces in opposite directions when they're both immersed in an electric field. The real mystery is why every atom doesn't totally collapse in response to the attractive force between the positive nucleus and the negative electrons.
