What are two ways in which clouds affect Earth's climate?
Clouds play a crucial role in Earth's climate by reflecting sunlight back into space, which helps cool the planet. They also trap heat emitted by the Earth, acting as a blanket to keep the planet warmer.
What clouds are in a high pressure system?
In a high pressure system, you are more likely to see clear skies because air descends and inhibits cloud formation. However, if there are any clouds present, they are usually thin and wispy cirrus clouds at higher altitudes.
True or False On avereage clouds reflect more solar radiation back to space than the earths surface?
True. Clouds tend to have a high albedo, reflecting more solar radiation back to space compared to the Earth's surface. This phenomenon contributes to a cooling effect on Earth by reducing the amount of solar energy absorbed by the planet.
Why is it more likely to be frosty on a clear night than on a cloudy night?
Since clouds are cool moist air, and cold air is heavier than warm air, the cloud cover holds down the warmth that accumulates during the day and keeps the ambient temperature slightly higher over night.
How might Earth's climate change if the land area on Earth were greater than the area of the world's ocean?
If the land area of the earth was greater than the area of the world's ocean, the earth's climate would become much drier because of the reduced source of moisture. The temperature would also increase dramatically.
Which clouds are more likely to reach the precipitation stage?
Nimbus clouds.
If the cloud is higher can it hold more water vaper?
No, if the cloud is lower it is most likely to contain more water vapor. Hint: look at rain clouds they are usually closer to the surface of the earth.
Why do clouds form more in the air than on earth's surface?
Clouds form more in the air because the air in the atmosphere contains water vapor, which can condense into droplets and form clouds due to cooling at higher altitudes. On Earth's surface, the air is generally warmer and can hold more moisture before reaching saturation, which is why clouds are more commonly seen in the sky above.
What planet has clouds and gravity like Earth?
Venus has a surface gravity slightly less than Earth's. It also has clouds, but not like Earth clouds -- Venus clouds are sulfuric acid, suspended in the dense, superheated carbon dioxide atmosphere. See the related link for more information.
How do Venus' clouds make Venus look brighter?
Sun rays are more easily reflected on clouds than earth.
What is more likely to be frosty on a clear night than a cloudy night?
On a clear night. Clouds will prevent the heat that the earth has collected during the day because of the sun, to evaporate at night.
Why is it most likely to rain when clouds are grey?
The darker the cloud... the more moisture it contains.
Are clouds more likely to form during a cold winter night or a warm afternoon?
yes
Which planet has more clouds earth or mars?
Mars has no atmosphere and therefore no clouds in the atmosphere. It does have polar caps, and sometimes brief gushes of water on the surface. National geographic has had articles about this with photos from the NASA satellite surveyor plus the robot on-ground surveyor it put up there.
What will most likely happen in an area where land clearing is reduced?
There will most likely be more wildlife in that area.
Why is it more likely to be a frosty night in winter if the sky is clear?
When sky is clear the heat from earth will radiate to space and cool the night air faster. If cloudy the heat radiated is reflected back from clouds and it does not get so cool
Where does weter come from?
The earth has a water cycle. The rain is evaporated, clouds form, water from lakes, rivers, and other sources add to it, and more clouds form. It the rains more as the winds move the clouds. The rain forest is one of the important parts to the cycle.
