Is fog a form of pecipitation?
Precipitation is the solid or liquid form of water falling from clouds. Fog is a type of stratus cloud near the ground that forms when water vapor cools and condenses near the ground.
What type of cloud might precede a heavy snow?
Cirrostratus clouds are typically seen before a heavy snowfall. These high-altitude clouds can cover the sky in a thin layer and often indicate that precipitation is on the way.
What clouds are larger and darker on the bottom and produce thunderstorms?
Clouds that are dark on the bottom are likely cumulonimbus clouds. That word comes from cumulus and nimbus. Cumulus means light, or fluffy. They're the kind of clouds you look for shapes in. Nimbus means rain. So, fluffy rain clouds is a rough translation. Cumulonimbus clouds bring rain, and possibly a tornado if you live in that area. It might be a heavy rain or a harsh thunderstorm. Just get inside as fast as you can!
What might happen next when an air mass cools to the point where it becomes saturated?
Precipitation
If you saw thin wispy clouds followed by lower layered cloud what type of weather might you expect in the near future?
The thin, wispy clouds you saw are Cirrus clouds and they are very high in the atmosphere and made of ice crystals. They normally indicate a change in the weather, and it is usually bad weather. This means that the low layered cloud you saw was either a stratus or cumulonimbus cloud which are both storm clouds. Cirrus clouds don't always predict storms, but that was probably what was happening.
What type of cloud might produce the most intense the most intense precipitaion?
cumulus
What type of cloud might produce the most intense precipitation?
Cumulonimbus clouds are typically associated with intense precipitation, including heavy rain, hail, thunderstorms, and even tornadoes. These clouds can reach high altitudes and are characterized by their towering shape and strong vertical development.
Would you need an umbrella on the moon?
Seeing that there is no precipitation on the moon, the answer is no. ______________________________ However, it might be useful as a parasol at protecting you from the intense light of the Sun. :-)
How might a burning magnesium wire be used in a commercial application?
To produce an intense white flash.
Where does cloud seeding happen?
Cloud seeding is done in arid areas - where clouds might form, but not produce rain. Seeding the cloud with microscopic 'dust' - forces water droplets to form - which eventually combine and fall as rain.
What happen to the water in the process of precipitation?
after condensation the cloud gets so cold it cant be a gas anymore and it turns into water and rains:ANSWERED BY: kid in 5th grade so it might not be acurate

Does Mercury have cloud conditions that might exist?
No, there are no cloud conditions in Mercury

What is one indicator that a thunderstorm may produce a tornado?
One indicator that a thunderstorm may produce a tornado is the presence of a rotating wall cloud. This is a large, lowering cloud that exhibits rotation at the base of a thunderstorm. When combined with other factors such as strong winds and changing weather conditions, it may increase the likelihood of tornado formation.
How do you know a tornado is about to happen?
A wall cloud will form and the cloud might build up a funnel!
What happens during precipitation process?
Depending on near ground temperatures precipitation will be seen as rain or snow. If the winds aloft are strong enough, the precipitation could be sleet, or hail. You might want to visit a dictionary before asking questions such as this one. The in cloud situation is that water vapor condenses, usually on something in the cloud with it, such as dust particles. Once sufficient moisture has condensed it begins to fall as rain, or snow, typically.
