What does it mean when clouds move fast?
it means a storm is moving across and or it is really windy out nothing serious!!
The cloud type depends on the height and formation of the cloud. Cloud types will be different for different locations during the same time period, therefore, will vary depending on location.
Is low pressure or high pressure stronger?
High pressure is stronger. Pressure is caused by the gas particles in a container hitting the sides of said container. At high pressure, the particles hit the sides of the container much more and therefore are pushing harder on the sides.
How is the energy from the sun reflected by the atmosphere?
The Suns rays reflect of the Earth, then off the outer shell of the atmosphere, temporarily trapping sunlight and heat.
Where did the alethopteris serlii live?
it lived in the sky on clouds that were rich with soil from evaporating water.
Is it true or false that clouds are made up of droplets in the air?
True, They are because if you watch magic school bus how water works you will find out.
How can convergence lead to the form of clouds?
the parcel of the air rises high emough , it will eventually cool to its dew point . the process of condensation begins . from this point on as the air rises , laten heat of condensat5ion stored in the water vapor will be released :)
Are clouds dropping closer to Earth?
Yes, they are, please read this:
New research has found clouds are dropping closer to the Earth, with scientists measuring their height for the first time on a global basis.
Experts from the University of Auckland suggest the change in cloud altitude could be the Earth's way of dealing with global warming.
In 1999, NASA launched its Terra satellite into space. On board was a Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR).
It uses nine cameras at different angles to produce a stereo image of clouds around the world, allowing measurement of their altitude and movement.
Researchers at the university studied the measurements taken over a decade.
Lead researcher Professor Roger Davies says over the past 10 years clouds have lowered in altitude.
"About 30 to 40 metres, just depending on how you did it. And that's actually a little bit more than would be needed to compensate for the effective increased CO2 over the same 10 years," he said.
He says researchers are unsure why it is happening, but that it is most likely due to a change in the circulation of the atmosphere.
"You need to get rising air to form a cloud and if the winds aren't quite strong enough, then you won't get that. And so we suspect that's the cause but we don't know quite the details and how that was actually happening."
Professor Davies says if the clouds continued to drop, global warming would slow down.
"The C02's increasing all the time and that's tending to heat the planet up and raise surface temperatures, and this is a cooling mechanism," he said.
"It's not strong enough to make the temperatures come down again, but it may slow how quickly they rise."
He says in the next 10 years scientists will gain more confidence in whether the drop is a response by the clouds to surface temperatures.
"It could be just a one-off. It could be just a 10 years just doing the low thing and if it goes back up again then it wouldn't have such a strong effect," he said.
"So that's why we're going to be very interested in looking at this over the next 10 years."
But never fear, Professor Davies says our heads won't literally get to the point that they're in the clouds.
"What's going on at the moment is most of the clouds are just staying put. It's the ones that are very high up - we're seeing fewer very high clouds and there's only so many of those clouds up there and once they're gone they're gone and things will stay pretty stable," he said.
"But it would take a few hundred years before we ran out of these high clouds at the rate that they're coming down."
they are very high up in the atmosphere and since it is very cold up there ice crystals form instead of water droplets they then usually form a wispy looking cloud, sometimes they are called "mare's tails"
Does joe ligon of the mighty clouds of joy have a wife and children?
He has 8 daughters, between 4 different woman, I know them all personally, there's 1 that looks exactly like Joe, her name is Dawn, I attended a concert, and Dawn was at the concert as well, her father looked out into the audience, and said to the crowd, my daughter is here tonight, and the people all looked around, he then continued and said, when you see her you'll know, because she looks just like me, and she does, more than any of his children.
What water-related dangerous threaten us?
becvause water can create hurricans and also flood a city, but we could also end up without drinking water which is only 3 percent.
When did clouds get their names?
Clouds were first classified and named in 1803 by Luke Howard, a British pharmacist and amateur meteorologist. Howard's classification system categorized clouds into different types based on their appearance and altitude, which laid the foundation for our modern cloud classification system.
What causes ground fog to to occur?
Ground fog forms when the air near the ground cools to the dew point temperature, causing water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets. This typically happens overnight when the ground loses heat to the atmosphere through radiation cooling. calm winds and clear skies also contribute to ground fog formation.
Is it true that every cloud has a silver lining?
The phrase "every cloud has a silver lining" means that in every bad situation, there are some good bits, or something to be optimistic about.
No clouds literally have a silver lining, and a cloud only appears to be silver when the sun hits it in a certain way.
As for the idiomatic meaning, it might be true. Try thinking of any bad situation you can and I'm sure you can think of a couple of ways it could become good, so yes every cloud does have a silver lining.
