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.

Explain how air becomes saturated?

Air can mix with other gasses forming a solution just like water forms a solution with salt or sugar. With a liquid solution there is a limit to how much the water can absorb, and the maximum amount it can absorb depends on the temperature of the water. Solutions in air work the same way. As water evaporates, the water molecules can form a solution and be dissolved in air.

The maximum amount of water molecules dissolved in air depends on temperature (and air pressure). When the maximum amount is reached, the air becomes saturated with water and a change in temperature or pressure or more water entering the air can cause the water to leave the solution. It can result in fog or clouds forming which can result in rain, snow, etc.

Who is a director of a star is born?

There have been three A Star Is Born directors.

1937 - William A. Wellman (original movie)

1954 - George Cukor (first remake)

1976 - Frank Pierson (second remake)

Likely there will be a third remake, and a fourth, etc., as those with little talent and huge egos will always copy success.

What is the relationship between clouds and wind?

When there is air pressure the air would rise to form clouds ..................Maybe its the right answer I just figured it out and if it's right plz guys tell me

Why are rockets important?

Rockets are needed to lift payloads into space, whether it's to launch a satellite into an orbit around earth or to send a probe out into our solar system and beyond. A lot of speed is required to be able to escape the gravity of the earth. This is provided by the rocket and the huge amount of fuel.

Why did exodusters move west?

The Exodusters were black African Americans who formed their own independent communities in the west because they believed the west would prove their promise land. Kansas seemed like the "ideal" place for blacks because that is where the sought peace unlike the south where there was the cruelty of the black codes, the cruelness of the sharecroppers and the Klu Klux Klan.

What are three kinds of clouds?

The five different types of clouds are called Cumulonimbus, Cirrus, Stratus, Cumulus, and Altostratus. These different types of clouds are distinguished by their shapes and positions in the sky.

What purpose do clouds serve?

The purpose they serve is they facilitate weather such as rain and snow. They reflect light and can hold heat in from a warm winter day. Certain cloud types can indicate future weather such as severe weather ie. cumulonimbus formations. Clouds have become an important focus in the study of global warming or cooling, including how the increase or decrease in cloud cover can effect the amount of radiation reflected from the earth back into space. Clouds form when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals. This can happen in three ways: * The air is cooled below its saturation point. This happens when the air comes in contact with a cold surface or a surface that is cooling by radiation, or the air is cooled by adiabatic expansion (rising). This can happen: along warm and cold fronts (frontal lift)where air flows up the side of a mountain and cools as it rises higher into the atmosphere (orographic lift)by the convection caused by the warming of a surface by insolation (diurnal heating)when warm air blows over a colder surface such as a cool body of water. * Clouds can be formed when two air masses below saturation point mix. Examples are breath on a cold day, aircraft contrails and Arctic sea smoke. * The air stays the same temperature but absorbs more water vapor into it until it reaches saturation point. The water in a typical cloud can have a mass of up to several million tonnes. However, the volume of a cloud is correspondingly high, and the net density of the relatively warm air holding the droplets is low enough that air currents below and within the cloud are capable of keeping it suspended. As well, conditions inside a cloud are not static: water droplets are constantly forming and re-evaporating. A typical cloud droplet has a radius on the order of 1 x 10-5 m and a terminal velocity of about 1-2 cm/s. This gives these droplets plenty of time to re-evaporate as they fall into the warmer air beneath the cloud.
A clouds use is to give water to all the plants of earth like water them

Why Did Farmers Move West?

to find more work so they could get money and survive. The Dust Bowl occured during the same time, which affected many farmers and farm workers in the Southern Plains. California still had many crops to grow and fields to work in, so many of these farmers migrated from Kansas, Oklahoma, etc, to California to continue their jobs of farming.

How are the molecules arranged in liquid water?

molecules in water are all different sizes and don't really have a arrange meant

What are clouds named?

Clouds are named by their height.

Strato means low so that means Stratus is a low-lying cloud. Where cirro means high making cirrus clouds high up in the atmosphere.

A stratus cloud is a sign of either fair weather or rain and snow.

A cumulus cloud is a sign of fairweather or thunderstorms.

A cirrus cloud is a sign of fairweather or approaching storms. this is because they have been pushed up into the atmosphere by the approaching storm systems.

Meteorologists get confusing when they start saying that stratocumlus clouds are coming in or that cirrostratus clouds are descending towards the earth. The only one i seem to understand is Cumulonimbus clouds which are storm clouds which often end up being thunderstorms.

Why are clouds good?

Clouds are important to all human history. Why? Well for one human life as we know it would be gone.

The human race needs water to survive and only 1% of the water on the earth is usable, and from the begining of time the earth has a process to recycle that water.

The clouds evaporate the water from the ocean and rain the water out, giving us water on land.

Why are thunder clouds gray?

Thunder clouds are grey because they are denser and heavier than other clouds.

Clouds are just clumps of moisture beads that form in the atmosphere. Clouds that cause thunderstorms tend to contain much more moisture than other clouds - they are thicker and heavier, and thus they appear darker because light cannot get through them.

Where in the Bible does it talk about a cloud?

There are a number of references to clouds in the Bible such as in Ecclesiastes 11:3 "If clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth".

In the book of Exodus a pillar of cloud traveled with the Israelite people in the desert to guide them during the day (e.g. Exodus 13:21) and was later used to descride God's presence (Exodus 19:9, Exodus 40-34-35).

In the King James Version (KJV) there are 49 references of clouds and 94 references of cloud, mostly found in the Old Testament. Likewise, there are 87 references to rain in the Bible. The counts will vary given the translation; e.g. NIV refers to "cloud" or "clouds" 151 times starting in Genesis 9:13 and ending in Revelation 14:16.

How does rain fall on this earth?

Clouds contain water vapor (steam) which condenses and becomes water when it gets cold. This heavier water then falls down as rain. It's the same reason that your cold glass of iced tea sweats-- the water in the air cools down around it and becomes water.

What state is the whte house in?

It is located in the United States of America, but what gets confusing for international students is that the White House is not located in a state. It is located in a District-- the District of Columbia (that is what the DC stands for, when you see "Washington DC).

What is a change to the united states constitution called?

A change to the United States Constitution is called an amendment. This can be the addition, removal, or updating to a part of the Constitution.

Do clouds respond to stimuli?

Yes, clouds respond to light by being evaporated from water. By responding to gravity, clouds precipitate back into water. Although clouds respond to the environment, they are not living things.

What pushes up if gravity pushes down?

Gravity pulls "down" and the opposite force is provided by whatever is beneath the object.

What type of weather does a high pressure system usually produce?

High Pressure Systems keep clouds from forming, and prevents precipitation. So it would bring sunny weather.

Why are solids and liquids condensed materials?

They are condensed materials because that's what makes them what they are. The more condensed a substance is the less it can flow.

Gases are the least condensed, so they flow the easiest, followed by fluids, then solids.

What is a cumulus mamulus cloud?

Fully charged clouds responsible for thunders.

If water is boiled will it turn into water vapor or steam?

When you boil water, a lot of air-bubbles appears on the surface. it is the water turning into steam.

What do you call the point something changes?

A point at which something changes is often referred to as a "tipping point." This term is typically used to describe the moment when a series of small changes or events leads to a significant shift or transformation in a system or situation.

What kind of changes are melting and freezing?

Melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation are physical change
