Why does it rain, and what factors contribute to the formation of rain clouds in the atmosphere?

Rain occurs when water droplets in clouds become too heavy to remain suspended in the air and fall to the ground. Factors that contribute to the formation of rain clouds include the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere, condensation of this vapor into water droplets, and the rising of air masses that cool and form clouds.


Where do you think more clouds are usually formed over warm water or cold water jar?

That depends. Clouds are formed when the air becomes saturated with moisture. The amount of moisture the air can hold depends on the temperature and pressure of the air. Cloud formation is an indication that either the temperature or pressure dropped. Over a warm jar of water, the air imediately above would be hot, am absorb moisture from the water. As the water waiffed away it would cool and have to give up some moisture and form clouds. These clouds would be be a short distance from the water jar. If the air was already saturated and than passed over a cool jar of water, than the air would cool and form a cloud. This cloud would extend to the surface of the water surface. So the final answer to your question is it depends on the conditions of the air.


Does water and cloud and steam evaporate?

Clouds and steam are forms of evaporated water. Water is the main base for evaporation to occur. Bot clouds and steam can condense in a cool temperature, while water can bothe condense and evaporate. So they are not much alike.


What are clouds composed of?

evaporation from the sea floats up and forms clouds. when the clouds become too heavy they perspire! and the whole process starts again As air parcels cool due to expansion of the rising air mass, water vapor begins to condense on condensation nuclei such as dust, ice and salt. This process forms clouds. FOR A+ WATER AND ICE IS THE ANSWER


How does salt water form freshwater rain in clouds?

Salt water evaporates from the ocean's surface, leaving behind the salt. The water vapor rises into the atmosphere and eventually condenses to form clouds. When the clouds cool and the water droplets become too heavy to stay aloft, they fall as precipitation, which is freshwater rain since the salt is left behind during the evaporation process.

How water is released by clouds?

When clouds cool the water vapour condenses and then falls as rain or snow etc


How does temperature affect the formation of clouds?

Water vapor in the cool air condenses in to tiny droplets of water, forming clouds.


What are the tiny water droplets in a the clouds?

The tiny drops of water are cool and it condenses.


What can air water and sun form?

They can form clouds because when the sun evaporates water, and then, the air makes the water cool and that's how they become clouds!


What happens when water vapor in sky cool and condenses?

It forms clouds in the sky and then, when the clouds are heavy enough, they fall as rain


How clouds forms?

When the water on earth gets heated by the sun,the water evaporates.Water can evaporate from,lakes,oceans,and rivers.So when the water evaporates it becomes water droplets in the air.Then when the water droplets hit cool air,they cool and become a cloud.That is how clouds are formed.


What happens when water vapor condenses out at the cool tops of convection cells?

When water vapor condenses out at the cool tops of convection cells, it forms clouds. These clouds can then lead to precipitation in the form of rain or snow, depending on the atmospheric conditions. This process is part of the water cycle and plays a critical role in the Earth's climate system.


Water droplets in the clouds become cool dense and heavy can no longer remain in the air?

precipitation


Why do clouds form as the air rises?

As air rises it becomes decompressed, which causes it to cool. This cooling can cause water vapor to condense, forming clouds.


What happens to water vapors?

Water vapour evaporates due to heat and goes into the clouds. Then when the clouds cool the water vapour condenses and falls as rain <== I think :S
