Does a cloud have potential energy?

Yes, a cloud does have potential energy due to its position in the atmosphere. The potential energy is a result of the cloud's height above the ground, which can be converted into kinetic energy if the cloud descends to lower altitudes. This process is important in the formation of precipitation.


Name an energy source that's unreliable?

Many alternative energy sources are not very reliable. If you use solar energy, the Sun doesn't always shine, if you use wind energy, you won't always have wind, etc. Basically this means that if you want to use alternative types of energy, you need some storage mechanism for times when there is no energy directly available.

The size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's what?

The size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's energy level and angular momentum, which determine the orbitals in which the electrons are most likely to be found. The electron cloud represents the region where there is a high probability of finding the electron at any given time.


What is a sudden energy discharge between parts of a cloud is called?

A sudden energy discharge between parts of a cloud is called lightning. Lightning is a natural electrical discharge produced in thunderstorms, typically accompanied by thunder, and can take on different forms such as cloud-to-ground or intracloud lightning.

Cloud Computing Can Reduce Energy Use?

Cloud computing have reduce the man force thing to increase the business growth. The cloud computing provides lot of computational services which is accessed through internet(Cloud). These services can help business owners to deliver the good profit.


Can a cloud obtain and use energy?

Yes, rising warm moist air adds energy to a cloud. This energy can be released in many forms (e.g. tornados, lightning) and the moisture can fall out in many forms too (e.g. rain, snow, sleet, hail).


What is the gravitational potential energy of a contracting interstellar cloud?

The gravitational potential energy of a contracting interstellar cloud increases as the cloud collapses inward due to gravity. This potential energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy and thermal energy, as the cloud contracts and heats up, eventually leading to the formation of a star.


Are electrons located in energy levels or electron cloud?

Electrons are located in energy levels within the electron cloud.

What factors determine how much of the sun's energy we receive in a given area?

the distance away from the equator (further away = less of the suns energy), and also the amount of cloud and type of cloud in that location (more cloud reflects more of the suns energy away from that location).


As an interstellar gas cloud shrinks in size its gravitational potential energy?

As an interstellar gas cloud shrinks in size, it's gravitational potential energy gradually transforms into other forms of energy.
