The surface area to volume ratio of cloud droplets is very high, which results in an extremely slow terminal velocity. Such droplets are easily held aloft even by very weak air currents. Even if the droplets to start to fall, they will evaporate quickly in the unsaturated air below the clouds.

A cloud on the earths surface?

A cloud on Earth's surface is a fog. Fog occurs when the air near the ground cools to its dew point, causing water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets. This reduces visibility and can affect travel and daily activities.

How does condensation nuclei help clouds form?

The condensation nuclei helps clouds form by adding more CNN to a cloud. This encourages precipitation. The more CNN, the more droplets are formed.


Solid particles around which cloud droplets form?

Aerosols, such as dust, smoke, or pollution particles, act as nuclei for cloud droplets to form around in the atmosphere. These solid particles provide a surface for water vapor to condense onto, leading to the formation of cloud droplets.

A cloud is a collection of water droplets that float and collect in the Troposphere and occasionally in the lower portion of the Stratosphere.


Will the presence of dust in the air expedite or slow cloud formation?

The presence of dust in the air can expedite cloud formation by providing a surface for water droplets to condense and form cloud droplets around. Dust particles act as cloud condensation nuclei, which help water vapor in the air to condense into clouds.


What is the difference between cloud and mist?

Mist of fog is the condensed form of water droplets formed just above the surface of the earth. Clouds are condensed form of atmospheric moisture consisting of small water droplets or tiny ice crystals. These r formed in the troposphere
