When cloud droplets collect and freeze around an ice crystal over and over what happens?

a cloud is formed


Can you freeze a cloud?

Yes, under certain conditions, it is possible for a cloud to freeze. This can occur at high altitudes where temperatures are extremely cold, causing the water droplets in the cloud to freeze into ice crystals.


When cloud droplets collect and freeze around and ice crystal and the process repeats over and over?

No


When water droplets become large enough in a cloud what happens?

hail


Why do the cloud droplets fall onto the earth?

Cloud droplets fall to Earth as precipitation when they grow large enough to overcome air resistance. This can happen when they coalesce into larger droplets or freeze into ice crystals. Gravity then pulls them down as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.


Hail falls to the ground because of the force of?

gravity pulling it down. When water droplets in a cloud are carried upward due to strong air currents, they freeze into ice pellets. As they become heavier, they eventually fall to the ground as hail.


Why do cumulonimbus clouds bring hail?

Inside a cumulonimbus cloud air move up in what is called an updraft. If this updraft is strong enough, it can keep ice pellets suspended in the air. At these heights, temperaures are always very cold, however, droplets of supercooled water exist. These droplets consist of water that remains liquid below the normal freezing point and will freeze instantly if disturbed. These droplets freeze to the surface of the ice pellet, causing it to grow into a hailstone. Eventually, the hailstoen grows to heavy to remain suspended and falls to the ground.


How can the same cumulonimbus cloud produce rain or hail?

A cumulonimbus cloud can produce rain or hail depending on the strength of updrafts within the cloud. If the updrafts are strong enough to carry water droplets high into the cloud where they freeze, hailstones may form. If the updrafts are not as strong, the water droplets will fall as rain.


How can a cloud produce both hail and rain?

the rain droplets can fall and some of them could be blown upward and freeze because of the wind


Why are cloud at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystal rather than drops of water?

It is very cold up there, and water droplets freeze into ice.


What phase change occurs as water vapor becomes cloud droplets?

Condensation occurs as water vapor changes into cloud droplets. This is the process by which gas or vapor transforms into liquid when cooled.


Is cloud a solution?

No. A cloud is a mixture of mostly water droplets.
