Water vapor droplets can become cloud droplets when the is reached.?
Water vapor droplets can become cloud droplets when the what reaches? dew point is the correct answer
What turns clouds into rain?
When clouds move higher in the atmosphere - to a colder region - increased condensation takes place. Alternatively, the clouds may meet another region of air with extra water condensation already in it. The water droplets become larger and heavier, which then sink to the ground. This is what we experience as rain.
What are Droplets that become so large and heavy that they can no longer stay up in the air fall to earth's surface?
they are droplets of water ( the water that drops from clouds are 0.02 mm an average rain drop is 2 mm ) or they are droplets of ice (like hail)
Clouds form when water droplets start growing on one of these?
Clouds form when water droplets collect on dust particles in the air. When the clouds become saturated, rain falls from the sky.
Water droplets that become too heavy to remain suspended in the air fall out of the clouds as?
Precipitation
What occurs when water droplets in the air become heavier than the air can hold?
Precipitation in the form of rain.

How do droplets become heavy enough so that the droplets fall as rain or snow?
how do droplets become heavy enogh so that the droplets fall as rain and snow
Water vapor droplets can become cloud droplets when what is reach?
Dew point
What does it make when water droplets and water droplets join together?
They become Clouds that precipitation falls from.
What happens to the air pressures as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. Gravity causes the atmosphere to become heavier the closer you are to the ground. The atmosphere may seem weightless but all the air molecules add up to a tremendous amount of mass. If you think of the atmosphere like blankets, the more blankets you have piled on you the heavier they become, thus pressing down on your body more and more. This is the same in the atmosphere, where the higher the altitude, the less overlying atmosphere, the less pressure on air molecules. At higher altitudes the air molecules have more freedom to move around.
When tiny droplets cool further they form larger and larger droplets what happens if the droplets become too big?
When tiny droplets cool further they form larger droplets what happens if it becomes too big
Why do clouds stay in the clouds?
I think you mean 'Why do clouds stay in the sky?' An answer to that question is: because the water droplets are so small and so high in the atmosphere, they are able to stay airborne until they condense and gravity pulls them to the ground as rain or the droplets evaporate completely and become invisible water vapor.
How does Freon get to the upper atmosphere?
Although Refrigerant gas is heavier than air, it will mix with air to become a Homogenious mixture. This allows the Refrigerant gas to reach the atmoshphere.
How does the water come down?
When the water vapour in clouds merge and become droplets, they will fall as rain. Two basic reasons are the droplets have become too heavy, and gravity.
When does precipitation form?
as air rises to the atmosphere it cools. the loss of heat causes water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. if the droplets or crystals grow and they become heavy enough they fall as rain, snow, sleet or hail. any type of liquid that falls earth's surface is called precipitation.
