How might clouds move?
Clouds move due to the wind carrying them along. Different layers of the atmosphere can have varying wind speeds and directions, causing clouds to drift, spread out, or even form into distinct shapes. The movement of clouds can also be influenced by local geographic features and weather systems.
Very low stratus clouds spread over most of the sky means that there may be?
Very low stratus clouds spread over most of the sky means that there might be a light drizzle. If the temperature is low enough, there might be a light snow.
What type of clouds might become extremely large black and ominous looking?
Nimbostratus clouds.
What would happen if the air in the upper atmosphere were warmer than the water vapor in the air?
It is impossible for the water vapour in the air to be at a different temperature from the air of which it is a part. However warm air can hold more water vapour than cool air. Thus when air is warming up there are unlikely to be any clouds (clouds are caused by water vapour condensing out of air).
Which of the following clouds might produce rain?
cumulonimbus
Cause and effect of clouds?
Clouds are formed as a result of condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere, typically when warm, moist air rises and cools. The presence of clouds can have various effects, such as shading the Earth's surface, regulating temperature by reflecting sunlight, and producing precipitation when they reach a certain level of saturation. Conversely, clouds can also contribute to global warming by trapping heat within the Earth's atmosphere.
Which clouds are white with fuzzy edges?
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds that often appear white and have fuzzy edges. They are high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals and typically indicate fair weather or the approach of a warm front.
Is it possible to see the clouds above the moon?
If by above you mean closer to the zenith, sure. If by above you mean beyond, then no, that's not possible. Very thin clouds might allow the moon's light through and make them appear to be behind it to a casual glance.
How might global warming affect the clouds?
Clouds are one of the big unknowns about global warming as they can have a range of effects, warmer temperatures caused by global warming will result in higher rates of evaporation and therefore will result in higher cloud cover. in turn higher cloud cover can increase night time temperatures by acting as insulation and preventing heat escaping the atmosphere during the night. At the same time clouds can reflect sunlight resulting in reduced daytime temperatures. the local impact of clouds will depend on the humidity of an area.

Where do clouds go to when the sky is blue?
Clouds occupy the sky for separate reasons. The sky is always blue, except when the sun's elevation is very low (sunrise/sunset) or on very hazy days. It is blue due to the way the atmosphere scatters the sun's light. This has nothing at all to do with why clouds might exist in the sky on a particular day.
Very low stratus clouds spread over most of the sky means that there may be?
Very low stratus clouds spread over most of the sky means that there might be a light drizzle. If the temperature is low enough, there might be a light snow.
What does clouds tattoos symbolize?
A tattoo of clouds might symbolize the loss of someone close to you who has gone to heaven. Clouds might also symbolize a journey that has been very difficult or has clouded your life.
Do clouds affect the weather?
Clouds might affect the weather by shading the ground, keeping it cool, or perhaps warm, which might affect breezes and winds. But clouds are formed by weather, so it can be a little confusing.
What type of clouds might become extremely large black and ominous looking?
Nimbostratus clouds.
If you see altocumulus clouds on a summer morning what might happen in the afternoon?
Altocumulus clouds in the morning may indicate a slight instability in the atmosphere. This could lead to increasing cloud cover in the afternoon, possibly developing into cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds and a chance of showers or thunderstorms later in the day.
If you saw thin wispy clouds followed by lower layered cloud what type of weather might you expect in the near future?
The thin, wispy clouds you saw are Cirrus clouds and they are very high in the atmosphere and made of ice crystals. They normally indicate a change in the weather, and it is usually bad weather. This means that the low layered cloud you saw was either a stratus or cumulonimbus cloud which are both storm clouds. Cirrus clouds don't always predict storms, but that was probably what was happening.
