Which layer of the atmosphere is furthest from earths surface?
Cirrus clouds are very high in the atmosphere making then furthest from the Earth's surface. They are very thin and wispy in appearance.
When air high above the earth surface is cooled below the dew point its is likely to form?
Clouds.
How clouds reflect heat to the Earth?
For a quick answer, here ya go: Heat radiating from the sun causes the water in the oceans to evaporate. This water vapor accumulates in the atmosphere creating more clouds. The clouds form sort of a blanket that reflects heat away from the earth's surface.
Can you see stars on venus?
No. The surface of Venus is obscured by thick clouds. If you could fly above the clouds then you would see the same stars that you see from Earth.
Many clouds reflect on a lot of sun light because they have an high?
Clouds reflect sunlight because of their high albedo, which is the ability of a surface to reflect light. This means that they send a significant amount of sunlight back into space, contributing to cooling the Earth's surface.
Why do clouds usually form high in the air instead of near earth surface?
Because there is more water vapor up in the sky.
Why do clouds usually form high in the atmosphere instead of near Earth's surface?
Because the earth isn't cold enough and is not meant for the water vapor to turn to liquid near it, and water vapor rises until it turns to rain.
How can clouds cool down the Earth?
Clouds can cool down the Earth by reflecting incoming sunlight back into space, which reduces the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface. They also increase the Earth's albedo, which is its ability to reflect sunlight. Additionally, clouds can trap heat radiated from the Earth's surface, but their overall cooling effect usually outweighs this warming effect.
How far away are clouds located from the Earth's surface?
Clouds are typically located about 1.9 miles (3 kilometers) above the Earth's surface.
What are the grey clouds near Earth's surface called?
The grey clouds near Earth's surface are called stratus clouds. They are low-lying, uniform clouds that often bring overcast skies and light precipitation.
How are clouds at high altitudes different from clouds that form close to Earth's surface?
no
On average how much of the sun and energy is absorbed by Earth and atmosphere and clouds without reaching Earth and surface?
Roughly 30% of the incoming solar energy is reflected back to space by clouds, the atmosphere, and the Earth's surface. Another 20% is absorbed by the atmosphere and clouds before reaching the Earth's surface, leaving only about 50% to be absorbed by the Earth's surface.
Are the clouds higher than the sun?
No, clouds are usually lower in the atmosphere than the sun. The sun is approximately 93 million miles away from Earth, while clouds form in the troposphere, which is much closer to the surface.
What helps heat to be trapped on the earth's surface?
the clouds
Does water fall from clouds to the surface of the earth?
Yes
What that falls from clouds to earths surface?
Rain falls from clouds to Earth's surface in the form of liquid water droplets.
What thick clouds formed near the earth surface?
stratus
