whether DUST floats around, I suggest you read about Brownian motion. In a nutshell, it is well-established that particles suspended in a fluid (in this case, dust suspended in air) exhibit constant, random motion. Dust particles will eventually settle to the surface due to gravity, but any disturbance can kick them up again, and particles can remain suspended for very long times (the lighter the particle, the longer it can remain suspended).

How does rain helps in making the air clean after a dust storm?
The water droplets will mix with the dust particles and bring the dust to earth, leaving the air less dusty.
Can it snow from clear skies?
no it cant because there is nowhere for it to come from Yes, it is in fact possible in rare instances. When it is very cold humidity in the air can desublimate into tine snow particles that float in the air and fall on the ground. This can happen with a clear blue sky... It's called 'diamond dust'...
Why is there dust in your rainwater?
When myriads of water droplets in the clouds form because, as warm, moist sir rises, it eventually becomes so cold that the water vapor condenses. Collecting around bits of dust and other microscopic particles known as condensation nuclei, the droplets at first are so minute that they literally float on air.
Will pumice float or sink in water?
In general, pumice will float. There is enough trapped air in pumice that it is buoyant.
Why do balloons only float with helium?
they don't float ONLY with helium. They float with any gas that is less dense than air, for instance hydrogen.
Do small things float?
Yes, in fact small things like bacteria, dust, etc. float in mid-air.
Numerous microscopic water droplets which have condensed on dust and float in the air form what?
clouds
What causes dust to stay in the air?
"Dust" is made up of tiny particulates that are produced by emissions in the air. The smallest parts don't sink immediately and float around as dust. They will, however, fall to the ground eventually.
Do objects float in air?
Yes, particle matter is suspended in the air. Eith PM 10 or PM 2.5 A good example of this is dust in the air or smog
Is it possible for saw dust float?
Wood can float on water.
Where did dust come from?
dust did not came from anywhere but it just grew and it float.
Does saw dust sink or float?
floats
Why does dust float?
Dust floats in water because it is less dense than the water.
What makes balloons float when they are full of air but not float when they are deflated?
When balloons float they have helium in it. Helium is not air, but a gas. It's lighter than air, which makes it float.
Does any train float on air?
No a train does not float in the air, no train does.
Why do things float in the air?
things float in air because of density
Is ice less dense than air?
If it were, it would float in air. Does it float in air? There's your answer.
