When you hear a weather report that forecasts scattered showers, you might wonder what you can expect. Usually it means that some parts of your area will have rain from time to time during the day or night. Some of the rain might fall where you are, and some of it will fall somewhere else. It will be scattered through the reporting area.

What does it mean when the clouds in the sky were scattered in the book Hatchet?
In the book "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, when the clouds in the sky are described as scattered, it typically means that there are breaks or openings in the cloud cover. This can indicate a partially cloudy sky where the clouds are not continuous and are spread out across the sky. It may also suggest that there are patches of clear sky visible between the clouds, allowing sunlight to filter through.
What is the difference between broken and scattered cloud cover?
Broken cloud cover refers to clouds covering between 5/8 to 7/8 of the sky, with distinct breaks in between. Scattered cloud cover refers to clouds covering between 3/8 to 4/8 of the sky, with more gaps and isolated cloud formations.
Is a cloud opaque?
Clouds are not opaque; they are actually translucent. This means that they allow some light to pass through but scatter and reflect most of it. Clouds appear white because sunlight is scattered by water droplets or ice crystals in the cloud.
What colors of light passes most easily through interstellar clouds?
Red light passes most easily through interstellar clouds because it has the longest wavelength and lower energy, making it less likely to be absorbed or scattered by dust particles within the cloud. Blue and violet light, with shorter wavelengths and higher energy, are more likely to be scattered or absorbed.
What happens to solar energy when it reaches the earth is it absorbed reflected or scattered?
All three.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected or scattered by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
What is the end of the phrase The clouds in the sky were scattered therefore... in the book hatchet?
The phrase in "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen reads: "The clouds in the sky were scattered therefore it was warmer than Brian had expected."
Middle clouds which look like scattered white and gray puffs?
Altocumulus clouds typically appear as scattered white and gray puffy clouds in the sky. These clouds are found at middle altitudes, between 6,500 to 20,000 feet, and are often associated with fair weather. Altocumulus clouds can signal changing weather patterns if they thicken and lower in the sky.
How much of the Sun's radiant energy is reflected by clouds or scattered by the atmosphere?
27%
What are fluffy cotten like clouds called?
Fluffy clouds resembling cotton are commonly referred to as "cumulus clouds." These clouds are low-lying, white, and puffy in appearance, often scattered across the sky on a sunny day.
Is Neptune's atmosphere blue and no clouds?
Neptune's atmosphere is blue but it has some clouds. They are like white streaks and are scattered all over the planet Neptune.
What does it mean when the clouds are pink?
When the clouds appear pink, it is usually during sunrise or sunset. This happens because the sunlight is scattered and refracted by the atmosphere, causing the clouds to reflect a pink or reddish hue.
How are stars and galexys born?
born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies.
Why are the clouds pink?
Clouds can appear pink during sunrise or sunset because of the way sunlight interacts with the atmosphere. The sunlight is scattered by particles in the air, causing the shorter blue and green wavelengths to be scattered away, while the longer red and orange wavelengths are able to pass through, giving the clouds a pink or orange hue.
What does scattered clouds mean?
Scattered clouds refer to a weather condition where clouds are present in the sky but cover less than half of it. This indicates a mix of clear skies and cloud cover, allowing for sunlight to shine through intermittently. Typically, it suggests a pleasant day with some variability in cloudiness, without significant weather disturbances.
What is the current weather temperature in Nairobi?
11th Aug 2010 15:00 - Scattered clouds 19oC
Why is the sky red when the moon is out?
If you are referring to what occurs at sunset, the light must travel through more of the atmosphere than at daytime. As it travels through more atmosphere, the light is subjected to more and more gas molecules in the air. The result is that more and more blue light is scattered out of the beam of light that eventually reaches your eyes. So Blue is "scattered out" and the part of light that is left over is red, orange and yellow. When the blue has been scattered out, even the clouds which scatter all colors, look reddish. The only color the clouds can reflect, is the color that shines on it. If blue is scattered out, only red will be reflected and scattered off of the clouds and in to your eyes.
