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.

Does frozen water becomes a starch?
No, frozen water does not become a starch. Starch is a complex carbohydrate found in plants, while frozen water is simply ice in its solid state. Starch is composed of glucose molecules, while frozen water is made up of water molecules arranged in a specific lattice structure.
If air pressure and density decrease, the buoyant force pushing up on the object will decrease as well, causing the object to sink. This is because the weight of the object becomes greater than the buoyant force acting on it, leading it to no longer float at the same level.
How do changes in air temperature affect water in the liquid and gas states?
If you leave water alone, it is in liquid form. If you raise the temperature of water to boiling, it creates steam. Is this a gas? If you lower the temperature to freezing, it becomes a solid.
What is a change of a liquid to a gas called?
The direct change from a solid to a gas is called sublimation.
Air exerts pressure in the same way that water exerts pressure on a diver. Air has weight, and because we are at the bottom of a blanket of air that surrounds the earth, the weight of that air is pressing down on us (creating pressure). If you go under water, you'll feel the additional pressure created by the weight of the water above you.
When a light passes through a diffuse cloud, part of the light will be reflected, part will be absorbed, and the rest will pass through depending on the density of the cloud and the energy of the light.
The light's energy can be expressed by: E = h(Planck's constant)*nu(frequency)
What is the mechanism of cloud burst Why it occurs In what conditions cloud burst occurs?
Cloud burst occurs when a large amount of precipitation falls in a short period of time from a single cloud. This can happen when warm, moist air rises rapidly and condenses into clouds, leading to intense rainfall. Factors such as orographic lifting, convergence of air masses, and atmospheric instability can contribute to the conditions necessary for a cloud burst to occur.
What bonds are broken when water evaporates into water vapor?
Hydrogen Bonds.
(Hydrogen bonding is another term for the dipole-dipole attractions between H2O molecules.) A Hydrogen bond is between a H atom in one molecule and either a O, N, or F atom in another.
What is the barometer used for and how does it work?
A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can measure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere by using water, air, or mercury. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Numerous measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, high pressure systems, and frontal boundaries.
When the sky is dark is it about to rain?
No it does not. A dark cloud, (or maybe a few) doesn't ever automatically mean a thunderstorm is coming. (plus it usually rains a little first)
A dark cloud may be caused by the angle of light or the background contrast of the sky behind the cloud(s)
Air pressure is based on the density of molecules in the atmosphere. Density is mass divided by volume or D=M/V.
By increasing the mass of air, the density increases. Decreasing volume also causes the density to increase.
A high pressure zone means air has more mass per unit volume. A low pressure zone means the air has less mass per unit volume.
Why do clouds go grey when it rains?
Clouds appear grey when it rains because they become denser with water droplets, which scatter and absorb sunlight, making the clouds look darker. This increased density blocks more sunlight from passing through the cloud, giving it a grey appearance.
What is the colour of the molecules in the air?
Air particles only from pollution seen coloured. If atm. is polluted then whole living system affected can't see, breathing problem occurs,survival of all organisms going to bind up.no atmosphere
At what altitude can cumulonimbus clouds be found in the tropics?
Cumulonimbus clouds in the tropics can be found at altitudes ranging from 6,000 to 20,000 meters (20,000 to 65,000 feet). These towering clouds are known for their vertical development and can reach great heights due to the warm and moist tropical air masses.
Why does ascending saturated air cool more slowly than ascending unsaturated air?
Saturated air contains relaitvely higher amount of water molecules. Thus it requires much time to cool. Whereas in case of unsaturated air, the number of water molecules are less. So, it's much obvious that lesser amount of water molecules require less time to cool.
When air masses meet why does warm air rise over cooler air often causing rain?
When hot air and cold air meet the hot air meet the hot air is forced upwards as it is less dense.
As this air rises it cools and the moisture in it condenses, eventually falling back to earth as rain.
What if your urine comes out of your body cold rather than warm?
That means you've been dead for many hours. Call the coroner.
REAL ANSWER (this guys right but mocking your real question)
The thing is... cold is relative to what your interpretation of warm is. If your urine feels cold, then you're probably in a warmer/hot place and your sense of touch has adjusted.
What is another name for low pressure area?
Another name for a low pressure area is a cyclone. Cyclones are characterized by atmospheric pressure that is lower than the surrounding region, allowing air to rise and potentially leading to the formation of weather systems such as storms.
Cloud seeding can cause major weather storms. When cloud seeding releases silver iodide into the cloud it can cause humans to get diseases such as heart enlargment or amenia. These diseases could cause you to have other symptons. Cloud seeding also cost alot of money which isn't good for our economy these days.
Why do clouds have different shapes?
Because the water vapour doesn't settle in a straight line. It moves, but it is sort of like us. There re no two same people on the planet. Twins may look the same, but in actual fact, there just as different as you and I. It is the same with clouds.
Basically,clouds are Mormon.
What types of clouds are there?
There are many types of clouds. The cirrocumulus, the cirrus cloud, the cirrostratus, the altostratus, the altocumulus, the cumulus, the cumulus humilis, the stratocumulus, the nimbostratus, the stratus, and the cumulonimbus
Does an occluded front bring cold and dry weather?
An occluded front typically brings a mix of both cold and warm air masses, resulting in variable weather conditions. Depending on the characteristics of the air masses involved, an occluded front may bring both precipitation and cloudy skies, rather than cold and dry weather.
What is fractional precipitation?
It is a process for separation of components from a mixture (usually liquid) based on their densities. The substance is heated in closed chamber until complete vapourization. The vapours are then distilled and collected based on their densities into separate fractions.
What causes condensation in a new basement?
It could be caused by moister in the air, this is why you should keep your basement at a regular temperature. During winter you should not have a problem but during summer you will need to fix it.
