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.

What forms around condensation nuclei?

Water droplets form around condensation nuclei, which are tiny particles in the atmosphere that provide a surface for water vapor to condense onto. This process is essential for the formation of clouds and precipitation. Examples of condensation nuclei are dust, salt particles, and pollutants.

What are two main types of addictions?

substance addictions (for example, alcoholism, drug abuse, and smoking ); and process addictions (for example, gambling, spending, shopping, eating, and sexual activity).

Where are the stratus clouds found?

Stratus clouds are found In a low altitude place either after it has rained or before

How would you describe a nimbus cloud?

A nimbus cloud is a type of cloud characterized by its dark, dense appearance and ability to produce precipitation. These clouds are often associated with rain showers, thunderstorms, and other severe weather conditions.

When humid air moves up what happens?

When humid air moves up, it tends to cool down due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude. This cooling can lead to condensation of water vapor in the air, forming clouds and potentially resulting in precipitation if the conditions are right.

Why are clouds important for weather?

Clouds play a crucial role in the Earth's atmospheric system because they regulate the amount of incoming solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface and help trap heat in the atmosphere. They also play a role in precipitation by holding water droplets and ice crystals until they are heavy enough to fall as rain or snow. Through these processes, clouds are essential for weather patterns and climate regulation.

When the air is holding a small amount of water what kind of humidity does it have?

This is called the Airs "Relative" humidity. The more water vapor in the atmosphere the higher the relative humidity will be.

When clouds make rain fall where does it go?

When rain falls, it lands on the ground and is absorbed into the soil, flows into rivers and streams, or evaporates back into the atmosphere. Some of the rain may also collect in lakes, reservoirs, and other bodies of water. Ultimately, the water from rain participates in the water cycle, where it is used by plants, animals, and humans, before evaporating again to form clouds and eventually more rain.

What is the difference in temperature on a clear night and cloudy night?

On a clear night, temperatures tend to drop more rapidly as heat escapes into the atmosphere. Cloudy nights act as a blanket, trapping some heat and causing temperatures to not drop as much as on clear nights. This can result in warmer temperatures on cloudy nights compared to clear nights.

What is the equation for water vapour?

It is still H20 if it is ice, water, or steam.

What are smoke trails in the sky every day?

This can be what jets leave behind when they pass through the sky,

It is little droplets of water, possibly frozen. It's caused by the expansion of bypass air in the engines which cools them. Modern turbofan (jet) engines actually mix with fuel only a small portion of the air they suck in. The vast majority (90% or so) of air is "bypass air" that is compressed and then used for additional thrust. This air expands as it leaves the engine. Moist air is in equilibrium between liquid and vapor water. Some water condenses into droplets but some droplets evaporate back to vapor. The addition of cool bypass air shifts the balance in favor of condensation. This creates a visible trail.

Another (more unlikely) reason to where these smoke trails came from is that the government of the U.S. has been experimenting by dropping large amounts of barium atop of their own cities disguised as "Jet Exhaust". Large levels of Barium can shut down an organism's immune system leaving them far more prone to disease. The government actually has the "right" to experiment on its own cities and the inhabitants of that city.

How many points do you get for each cloud that you jump on in the cloud jumping game?

Hello Pandas of Panfu! This is Ciel in Panfu answering your question, for each cloud you get 10 points.

How long was air travel disrupted by ash cloud?

In this question, you did not state which ash cloud you are talking about. An ash cloud can disrupt travel for hours, days, weeks, and even months.

Name the ash cloud you are talking about when you retype your question.

Is Charlie St Cloud a chick flick?

As a rule of thumb, any movie where Zac Efron removes his shirt is a chick flick.

What happened to Nation's Bank?

Nationsbank and BankAmerica merged in 1998

Is it dangerous to breathe in water vapour?

no its just vapor of water if its mixed with another element then yes

What does it mean when a rain drop falls on you when its not raining and your no where near water?

Possibly someone that you cannot see is shooting water in the air from a hose?

Or if there are any clouds, if they are even grey could still cause a small amount of rain.. or possibly you could have spit on yourself =)

Are clouds and example of evaporation or condensation?

The water is evaporated creating condensation.

TEchnically the clouds are condensation

How long does a contrail last?

That depends on the air conditions. They can disappear almost immediately or last for seconds, minutes, hours and even days.

What is cumuloninmbus?

Cumulonimbus is a type of large, dense cloud that is associated with thunderstorms and severe weather. It is recognizable by its towering structure with a flat anvil-shaped top and can produce heavy rain, lightning, strong winds, and sometimes hail or tornadoes.

What are similarities between the stratus and cumulus cloud?

Both stratus and cumulus clouds are low-level clouds that form below 6,500 feet. They are often associated with fair weather conditions, but can develop into more significant cloud types like nimbostratus or cumulonimbus. Both clouds do not typically produce precipitation, but can lead to light rain or drizzle at times.

What cloud is worse a wall or bubble cloud?

A wall cloud is typically associated with severe weather events such as tornadoes, making it more dangerous than a bubble cloud which is harmless and mainly a result of condensation. Wall clouds are characterized by rotating updrafts and are often found in supercell thunderstorms, indicating the potential for severe weather. Bubble clouds are usually small and puffy with no significant weather implications.
