Clouds

The process occurring when water falls to the earth as rain or snow is called precipitation. This is the release of water from clouds in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Relative Humidity is the measure of water vapour in air.

It is the ratio of the actual water vapour in air divided by the maximum amount the water the air can hold at the existing temperature and pressure.

It tells how fast or slow the water on the body or in clothes will evaporate or in otherwords is the air dry or humid.

Absolute measure of water vapour in air is called specific humidity.

It can be measured as ratio of mass of water and mass of dry air.

Lightning is the discharge of static electricity. Items on the ground, including the ground itself, has one charge while the clouds in the sky, even the sky itself has the opposite charge. When one has more charge than the other, it discharges causing lightning.

Yes! Warm air does rise, and cool air sinks. This happens because warm air is lighter than cold air, thus causing wind. The wind then rises from high pressure to low pressure. The wind travels East in in the Northern Hemisphere, and West in the Southern Hemisphere. For small, short lived systems, (like storms) the wind always goes from high pressure, to low pressure.

Also the cold air is more dense than the light air. :) Enjoy!

Cloud Servers don't have a central location or a specific physical location for that matter. Cloud servers are virtual servers hosted on a virtual space called "the cloud", created by integrating a vast network of multiple machines and devices. Therefore cloud servers are online and can be accessed from everywhere and anywhere.

If you're interested in deploying a cloud server for yourself, a good provider that you can contact is CloudCone. You can go to their website and contact support.

Clouds can give us clues about the weather, such as impending rain or storms. They can also indicate atmospheric conditions and patterns, helping meteorologists make predictions about future weather events. Additionally, the formation and movement of clouds can provide insights into the Earth's climate and the water cycle.

Many types of clouds can be found in the sky. Cirrocumulus, Cirrus, Cumulonimbus, Altocumulus, Altostratus, Cumulus, Stratus, and Stratocumulus are the different types of clouds. The height of the cloud and shape can tell you which kind of cloud you are looking at.

No, Steam is not a cloud service. Steam is a digital distribution platform developed by Valve Corporation for purchasing, playing, and discussing video games. Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services, such as storage and processing power, over the internet.

False. The majority of weather occurs in the troposphere.

Air masses move across the US primarily due to the jet stream, which is a fast-flowing, narrow band of air at high altitudes that often guides the movement of weather systems. Temperature and pressure differences between air masses also play a role in their movement, causing them to shift and interact with each other as they move across the country.

Water vapor is water in its molecular form, separate units of H2O floating around in the air.

But air can only carry a certain amount of water vapor. When it gets to be too much water vapor, the water molecules will bind together to form tiny droplets until the remaining free H2O molecules can again be carried by the air.

The process in which excess H2O molecules bond together to form a liquid is called condensation.

The amount of water vapor one amount of air can carry is dependent on temperature, the warmer it is, the more H2O molecules you can have for each unit of air. And also the reverse - the colder it gets, the fewer H2O molecules can be carried in the air.

So the most common cause of condensation is moist air being cooled down.

When you see drops of water forming on something that's just been taken out of the fridge, this is what's happening.

Yes, water vapor is considered part of the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere encompasses all the forms of water on Earth, including water vapor in the atmosphere, liquid water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, and frozen water in glaciers and polar ice caps.

When cold air sinks, it is not associated with either a cold front or a warm front. Cold air sinking is typically related to high pressure systems, and it generally leads to stable weather conditions with clear skies and light winds. Cold fronts occur when a mass of cold air advances into an area of warmer air, while warm fronts occur when a mass of warm air overtakes a region of colder air.

Cumulonimbus clouds can produce a variety of precipitation, including rain, snow, hail, or sleet. The specific type of precipitation that is produced depends on the temperature and atmospheric conditions within the cloud.

Because of how dense it is because of all the moisture that it is made up of, which the light is absorbed by, and cannot penetrate as easily as a white cloud (which does not have as much moisture in it).

Monitoring changes in air pressure can predict weather conditions because high pressure usually indicates fair weather, while low pressure typically brings unsettled weather. By tracking these changes over time and comparing them to known weather patterns, meteorologists can make forecasts about upcoming weather events with reasonable accuracy. Rapid pressure drops or rises can also indicate the approach of a storm system, allowing for timely warnings to be issued.

The process that turns water vapor into liquid water is called condensation. It occurs when the water vapor cools down and loses energy, causing the water molecules to come closer together and form liquid water droplets. This process is commonly seen when warm air containing water vapor comes into contact with a cool surface, such as a mirror fogging up in a bathroom.

The pressure from underneath the surface such as water volcano, underwater earthquake etc. or waves can be caused by strong winds blowing the water.

Those clouds are cumulonimbus clouds. They are known for their towering heights and can produce heavy rain, thunderstorms, and sometimes severe weather.

When water vapor condenses directly to ice crystals within a cloud, it is called deposition. This process skips the liquid phase and results in the transformation of water vapor into a solid state (ice crystals) due to extremely cold temperatures in the cloud. Deposition is an important process in the formation of precipitation in the form of snow.

Nimbus clouds are typically associated with rain or stormy weather. They appear dark and thick, indicating potential precipitation, such as rain, snow, or hail. If you see nimbus clouds, there's a likelihood of inclement weather in the near future.

An air mass over the ocean of Alaska would likely be cold and moist due to the influence of the cold waters of the Northern Pacific Ocean. This air mass could bring fog, low clouds, and precipitation to the region, contributing to the damp and chilly conditions often experienced in Alaska.

Low pressure is a counter-clockwise spin (in the northern hemisphere) of rising air. Rising air causes precipitation and therefore you typically find rain with low pressure systems. High pressure systems have sinking air which tends to prevent rain in most cases.
