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.

How many gallons of water fall to the earth from clouds each day?

1000000000 (one billion) tons of rain fall to earth every minute. There are 1440 minutes in a day (60min x 24 hrs) There are 2000 pounds in a ton 1000000000 tons x 2000 pounds = 2000000000000 (2 trillion) pounds per min 2000000000000 pounds per min. x 1440 minutes in a day = 288000000000000 (288 trillion) pounds of water fall to earth every day 288000000000000 (288 trillion) pounds / 8 pounds in a gallon = 36000000000000 (36 trillion) gallons of rain fall to earth

How do you make more water come out of the faucet?

By increasing the spout diameter and boring out the faucet seats as the 1/4" opening allows only a certain amount of volume

How much water would be in a schedule 40 pipe that measures 1 inch in diameter by 12 inches in length?

Assuming that you are asking about the 1 inch diameter pipe that you would find at the hardware store, the average inside diameter of Sch 40 is 1.029". The formula for volume of a cylinder is pi times radius squared times height.

Pi = 3.14,

the radius would be half the diameter (1.029/2) = .5145

the height is 12 inches

3.14 x .2647 x 12 = 9.974 cu inches

Why do citrus farmers spray water on their crops the evening before the temperature is predicted to drop below freezing?

This is because they want the water to freeze over the plant, making the molecular transfusion adaptable to the surface of the plant. Farmers have started doing this since the 1890s when Albert Gerald Bonce received a letter from the United National Judas of Thyme. There he tried out his theory, he slowed down the process of freezing and became successful.

This is a good answer for doing homework, tests, or extra credit activities.

Why does water condense on your window in winter?

The phenomenon that causes water to condense on the windows in winter is the same as what causes water to condense on the outside of cold glasses. Because the cold glass of the window (or the cup) absorbs heat, the air around it is slightly colder. Because cold air can hold less water vapour than cold air, water condenses and gathers on the window.

How low can you turn the heat down but keep the water pipes from breaking?

It depends on the amount of flow in the pipes. Running water tends not to freeze. Some vacationers leave the water on a trickle when they go and turn the heat down. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius but I would not put your heat that low. Remember the thermostat is on the wall 5 feet off the ground. Some pipes are inches from a concrete floor and thus freeze. 5-10 would be good.

Where did the phrase kitty corner originate?

it's actually a bastardization of the word Katty corner. i don't know where the word originated. sorry

AnswerThe word "cattycorner" is from the word "cater" from the French word "quatre" meaning four. See link below for more information. I'm sure that when it was used by English speaking people, they thought "cater" sounded like "catter" so they associated it with the word "cat," and that is how we got our modern version of the word.

• Not doubting the prior answer here, but why then is the following... ? From Louisiana does come the term "cangkitty_yonk"(not sure of spelling), which bears the identical definition. In Iowa, I grew up with both "kitty", but mainly "katty". Minnesota uses "kitty".

What does dew mean?

Water droplets condensed from the air, usually at night, onto cool surfaces

If Water is heavier than air so why do clouds stay up in the sky?

Because all the droplets haven't come together yet so it isn't as heavy as water yet. Water vapor (a gas) rises up until it gets cool enough to turn to droplets. These droplets are clouds in all their amazing forms.

What is outer directed?

Outer directed means that an action done by an individual is based on the beliefs of a group. An example of being outer directed would be a person conforming to the beliefs of their religion.

What must be present in order for clouds to form?

Clouds form when water vapor in the air condenses into tiny droplets or ice crystals around microscopic particles called condensation nuclei. These particles can be dust, pollen, or pollution. Additionally, cooling of the air and reaching saturation point are needed for cloud formation.

A puffy cloud in the middle of altitude?

This could be a lenticular cloud, which forms at higher altitudes and appears like a lens or saucer. They are often seen near mountains or other obstacles that disturb the flow of air. These clouds can indicate strong winds and turbulence in the upper atmosphere.

What kind of clouds are rain clouds?

All clouds are rain clouds. You just have to know when the rain will rall out of them. When a clou is really grey the rain in that cloud is going to fall soon. If the cloud is white it is NOT going to rain!

Where is the thermosphere?

The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere above the mesosphere. The thermosphere extends from 50 to 55 miles (80-90 km) above sea level, with the upper limit undefined.

The temperature in the thermosphere initially rises rapidly with heights up to about 120 miles (200 km) and thereafter increases more slowly. Above 120 miles (200 km) - depending on solar activity - the temperature varies between 600° and 2000°C (1100 and 3600°F).

Is formation of cloud called condensation?

The formation of clouds involves condensation, where water vapor in the air cools and turns into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. This process occurs when the air reaches its dew point, causing the water vapor to change state from a gas to a liquid or solid form within the cloud.

How did the term morals get associated with the term scruples?

the moral of story was that we should help our friends and not be so brave that we cold fall down .

How many clouds are white?

Clouds can vary in color depending on factors like the time of day and weather conditions. The majority of clouds are white, as they reflect sunlight. However, clouds can also appear gray or dark if they are thick and full of rain or ice crystals.

What is the purpose of clouds?

Clouds serve to regulate Earth's temperature by reflecting sunlight back into space and trapping heat near the surface. They also play a crucial role in the water cycle by transporting and distributing water across the globe. Furthermore, clouds contribute to weather patterns and can influence precipitation and storms.

Can some one explain about cold air returns you are looking to buy a house and your mother says you need a could air return in every room?

You do not need cold air returns in every room. Normally your warm air registers are close to your outside walls, your cold air returns which are much larger are placed in the center of your house . There may be one or more cold air return depending on the size and layout of your home.

ground not important ,could eyeball ...the frame is what you level..with a builders level is the fastest .
