Clouds

A cloud is a visible body of very fine water droplets or ice particles suspended in the atmosphere at altitudes up to several miles above sea level. They are generally produced by the condensation of water vapor. Other clouds, less commonly seen, are composed of smokes or dusts.

When a mass of cold air presses on the surface of the earth is called what?

It is called a cold front. Cold air mass is denser than warm air, so when it moves in and pushes existing warm air upward, it creates changes in weather conditions.

What would cause a 2003 VW Beetle air conditioning to stop blowing cold air?

I am working on my daughters but the first thing would be low on freon. Recharge it with a kit from AutoZone or similar store and ask them where the low side cap is. Read the directions on the can and just do it. If it takes freon, the can will get very cold and form frost.

What does it mean to say that a certain substance is a solid a liquid or a gas?

To say if something is a liquid a solid or a gas is to say what state of matter it is in. If it is a solid the thing is a 'hard' object and the molecules of that particular object are slow moving and the bonds which connect atoms are tight. In a liquid the the molecules move faster and the bonds in between them are looser and a liquid can also 'change' it's shape. In a gas there are are no bonds between the molecules. A gas is the air that surrounds us.

WHere does wind start?

Wind can be caused by either pressure or temperature differences. From there you get into which is cause and which is effect. Wind starts when you have heated air rising and cooler air flowing in to take its place. As the lighter heated air rises, the cooler, heavier air will rush in to take its place. Once the heated air cools in the upper atmosphere, it then falls back.

Are the bases of convective clouds generally higher during the day or the night?

The bases of convective clouds are generally higher during the day due to heating from the sun causing warm air near the surface to rise. At night, without the heating effect of the sun, the bases of convective clouds tend to be lower as the atmosphere cools and stabilizes.

Is arsenic a liquid or gas?

Arsenic is a solid at room temperature and pressure. It sublimes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase.

Are you tilted toward or away from the sun in February?

This depends on whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere has its summer solstice (the longest day of the year) in December: after that, the southern hemisphere gradually begins to tilt away from the sun, while the northern hemisphere begins to tilt more towards the sun as it moves beyond winter.

Where do stratus cumulus and cirrus clouds form?

Stratus clouds typically form at low altitudes, Cumulus clouds form at varying altitudes depending on their type, and Cirrus clouds form at high altitudes. Stratus clouds are usually seen as layered and overcast, Cumulus as fluffy and white, and Cirrus as thin and wispy.

How do the clouds stay in the sky with gravity pulling it?

The answer is quite simple: clouds are very light. Even though they contain many tons of water, they are still composed of tiny water droplets and ice particles that are too small to feel the effects of gravity, so they float with the surrounding air.

Atmospheric updrafts also keep clouds afloat by countering the small amount of gravity pulling them down. Clouds generally form, survive and grow in air that is moving upward, allowing moist wet air to reach cold dry air and cause condensation.

So, even though clouds do contain a lot of water, they are in the form of tiny droplets that are spread out for miles, which are so small that the effect of gravity on them is negligible. That is why clouds float in the sky.

What is the adaptation for loading and unloading oxygen at high altitudes?

At high altitudes, the body adapts by increasing the production of red blood cells to carry more oxygen, increasing the breathing rate to take in more oxygen, and increasing the efficiency of oxygen transfer in the lungs. These adaptations help to ensure that enough oxygen is available for the body's tissues despite the lower oxygen concentration at high altitudes.

Where is the foggiest place in the world?

Grand BanksThe foggiest place in the world is the Grand Banks off the island of Newfoundland, Canada. Fog is frequent here as the Grand Banks is the meeting place of the cold Labrador Current from the north and the much warmer Gulf Stream from the south. The foggiest land areas in the world are Point Reyes, California and Argentia, Newfoundland, both with over 200 foggy days a year.

Who discovered the cumulus cloud?

Luke Howard, a British pharmacist and amateur meteorologist, is credited with naming and classifying clouds, including the cumulus cloud. However, it is important to note that the cumulus cloud itself was not a new discovery, as it has been present in the Earth's atmosphere for millions of years. Howard's system of cloud classification, which included the cumulus cloud, was officially published in 1803.

When a lake is frozen and the temperature is -30 degrees outside. How many degrees is the water unter the ice is it 0 Under the ice the water doesn't move. Why the lake is not frozen completely?

The short answer is that high pressure air "sinks." The air at the centre of a ridge or dome of high pressure travels downward from a higher, cooler altitude to the relatively warmer layer near the earth's surface. The journey from cooler to warmer causes the moisture in the air to evaporate, and become invisible to the eye. The opposite happens in an area of low pressure. The air rises and cools. This causes condensation which results in clouds. When the condensation is too heavy to defy the law of gravity, we get precipitation. Hope that helps.

Who is Wilson Bentley?

Wilson A. Bentley (1865-1931), born in Jericho, Vermont, was the first known photographer of snowflakes. Wilson first became interested in snow when he was a teenager on his family's farm. His Mother gave him his first microscope, although his dad thought it was silly to study snow. At first, he tried to draw what he saw under the microscope, but they melted to fast. A little while later he perfected a process of catching snow on black velvet in a way that the images could be captured before they melted. Sadly, this amazing man died during a blizzard, doing research. I think that he opened a great door for scientists now. Even though he is dead, people will always remember the 'Snowflake' man.

Are any colors of the rainbow bigger or brighter than the others and why?

No, all colors of the rainbow are equal in size and brightness. The colors of the rainbow are a result of light being dispersed through water droplets, creating a continuous spectrum of colors. Each color is equally important in creating the full rainbow spectrum.

The process by which water changes to liquid is called?

It is by condensation that water vapor changes to liquid water.

Why does air in the troposphere move in all directions?

Air in the troposphere moves in all directions due to various factors such as temperature differences, the rotation of the Earth (Coriolis effect), and pressure gradients. These factors create a complex system of winds that flow in different directions to distribute heat and maintain atmospheric balance.

The thickness of the troposphere increases in which season?

The thickness of the troposphere typically increases during the summer season due to higher temperatures at the Earth's surface, which cause the air to expand and the troposphere to expand with it. This expansion leads to a thicker layer of the troposphere during this time.

What are the Characteristics of air?

Air is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), with trace amounts of other gases. It has mass, volume, and density, though its density decreases with increasing altitude. Air can also be compressed, expanded, and filtered.

When a water vapor goes from a cloud to a plant what is this called?

Low clouds can deposit water vapor on a plant by the mechanism of condensation. In this circumstance, the plant is cool enough to cause moisture (water vapor) in the air that comes in contact with the plant to lose enough energy to condense out and form little droplets.

Are the air bubbles that form on a straw submerged in liquid formed from oxygen that is already in the water or are they carried into the water by the straw as it is submerged?

The straw gives energy to dissolved gases in the liquid, be those gases oxygen, or whatever. The energy given to the gases causes those gases to come out of solution in the water, and to collect on the surface of the straw.

When is the first cold front of the year?

The timing of the first cold front of the year varies depending on location and climate. In some regions, it can occur as early as late summer or early fall, while in other places, it may not occur until later in the fall or even winter. The arrival of the first cold front is influenced by atmospheric conditions and weather patterns specific to each region.
