While air is normally invisible, two different things make tornadoes visible.
The visible funnel is formed by condensation. Because of the low pressure, air that is pulled into a tornado is decompressed and cools down as a result. Since the air around a tornado is usually moist, the tiny droplets condense in the tornado to form a cloud. The strong upward-moving wind in a tornado can also lift dirt and debris into the air to form a swirling cloud of dust.

How can you see a tornado on satellite image?
You can't. Tornadoes descend from thunderstorms, and so cannot be seen from above. You can, however, see the thunderstorms in a satellite image. See the link below for a satellite time lapse of storms tha produce tornadoes.
How do tornados form at night?
Tornadoes can form at night due to the same atmospheric conditions that cause tornadoes during the day, such as the presence of warm, moist air clashing with cooler, drier air. The darkness does not inhibit tornado formation, although it can make it harder to see and track the tornado.

Can you see tornadoes from space?
No, it is not possible to see tornadoes from space as they are small and short-lived weather events that are difficult to detect from such a distance. Additionally, the resolution of satellite images is not high enough to capture tornadoes.
What states have a warm to mild climate not prone to tornadoes?
Arizona and Utah have warm climates and don't see tornadoes very often. The tornadoes that do affect those states are almost always weak.
Why don't the Caribbean experience tsunami and tornadoes?
