Moisture falls from a cloud in the form of precipitation when water droplets in the cloud combine to form larger droplets, which become heavy enough to overcome the force of updrafts that keep them suspended. These larger droplets then fall to the ground due to gravity.

A cloud cover will have what kind of pressure?

Cloud cover typically indicates lower pressure, as it signifies moisture in the atmosphere which can lead to the development of precipitation. High pressure systems are associated with clear skies and generally less cloud cover.


How does a funnel in a tornado form?

A funnel cloud forms when a rotating column of air descends from a thunderstorm cloud but doesn't touch the ground. When the funnel cloud touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. The rotating air within the tornado causes it to appear as a funnel-shaped cloud.


What is the main difference between a cloud drop and a rain drop?

Cloud drops are tiny water droplets that form in clouds and are too small to fall to the ground, while raindrops are larger droplets that have grown in size and weight enough to fall as precipitation. Cloud drops are typically less than 0.02 inches in diameter, while raindrops can range from 0.02 to 0.2 inches in diameter.


When the temperature of a cloud is below negative 18 degrees Celsius the cloud consists almost entirely of?

When the temperature of a cloud is below -18 degrees Celsius, the cloud consists almost entirely of ice crystals. These ice crystals can grow in size and may eventually fall to the ground as snow if they reach a sufficient size.


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.

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).
