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.

The changing of a liquid into a gas?

Vaporization is the term for changing a liquid into a gas. This is usually done by heating the liquid, which is why boiling water vaporizes into steam.

It is easier for electrons to travel in humid air than dry airhow does this explain the fact that you see the effect of static electricity in cool dry weather?

In humid weather, static charge that builds up, for example, when you walk across a carpet, leaks off as fast as it is generated. So very little of it, if any, gets stored in your body. In cool dry weather, especially indoors if the indoor humidity is very low, static charge can not leak off as readily, and gets stored in your body as if your body was a condenser or capacitor. When you come in contact with something that is grounded, i.e., has a path to the earth or some conductive platform you are standing on, the stored charge leaps off as a spark. Your body is discharging the static electricity that it built up and stored. This is precisely what happens with a cloud and lightning. Only difference is that your body might build up a charge of 10,000 volts (with very little current, that's why it's not lethal) and a spark would jump a quarter inch from your finger tip to the object you are about to touch. In comparison, a cloud might build up a charge of several million volts, enough to break down the air in a path that is hundreds of feet to the ground.

What is study of clouds?

The branch of meteorology in which clouds are studied is nephology.

Is uranium a gas liquid or soild?

1 132,2 0C.

How many full moons have there been since July 1 2001?

There is a full moon every 28 days. It's been 5 years and 280 days since then. A year is 365.25 days. From here it's basic math. I'd rather not do homework questions entirely for you or I fear you'll never learn to think for yourself. You are so lazy. You could have just use a calculator! Using your information I have figured out that there have been about 75 full moons since 2001.

Are water droplets in air solute or solvent?

Neither of both. Gasses never are solvents.

Air is a mixture -not a solution- of more gasses, none of them are solvent nor solute.

When oxygen dissolves in water then this gas is the solute in water (the solvent).

The process by which water evaporates from a plant's leaves is called?

Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from a plant's leaves. This helps regulate the plant's temperature and also aids in the movement of water and nutrients throughout the plant.

When do you see clouds?

Fog is caused by a drop of temperature when the air is moist. Air always has some moisture in it. On a warm day there will be quite a lot of moisture in the air caused by evaporation of surface water or transpiration from plants. However, if the temperature drops the moisture starts to condense into droplets big enough to cause light scatter. We call this size water droplets low to the ground - fog. Early morning fog often clears as the sun hits it due to the re-evaporation of the water.

What is the Relative roughness factor of a fiberglass pipe?

relative roughness is the average bump height divided by the same characteristic length (pipe diamter) the relative roughness is calculated by k/d, k=0.0015 and d being the diameter relative roughness is the average bump height divided by the same characteristic length (pipe diamter) the relative roughness is calculated by k/d, k=0.0015 and d being the diameter

What formation process occurs when water changes from a gas to a liquid?

If water changes from a gas to a liquid, that's called condensation.

If water changes from a solid to a liquid, that's called melting.

Relative humidity is always expressed?

Yes. It is the percentage of the maximum water vapor content for a given temperature.

What clouds are larger and darker on the bottom and produce thunderstorms?

Clouds that are dark on the bottom are likely cumulonimbus clouds. That word comes from cumulus and nimbus. Cumulus means light, or fluffy. They're the kind of clouds you look for shapes in. Nimbus means rain. So, fluffy rain clouds is a rough translation. Cumulonimbus clouds bring rain, and possibly a tornado if you live in that area. It might be a heavy rain or a harsh thunderstorm. Just get inside as fast as you can!

Where is air pressure least?

exosphere

Which is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere.

Surface between warm and cold air at about 60 degrees latitude?

The westerlies (winds from the west) which blow in the middle latitudes between 30 degrees and 60 degrees north and south of the equator. Also called the Polar Front

Why does a barometer fall before it rains?

Air pressure is the weight of the air around us. When there is a period of low pressure, a barometer detects this and displays it with the needle. This reading is showing the weight of the air. It normally rains during a period of low pressure, so if the needle on the barometer is pointing to low pressure or rain, you can predict what the weather will be like in the following days. Hope this answers your question.

What are four types of air masses that affected the US?

Four types of air masses that can affect the United States are continental polar (cP), maritime polar (mP), continental tropical (cT), and maritime tropical (mT). These air masses vary in temperature and moisture content, influencing the weather patterns when they move across the region.

As the velocity of a fluid increases the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases this statement is?

This statement is known as Bernoulli's principle. It states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases and vice versa. This principle is commonly used in fluid dynamics to understand the relationship between fluid velocity and pressure.

How does the polar jet stream influence weather?

It changes precipitation patterns, causes strong storms, and transfers warm and cold air.

How do clouds know where to rain?

This is a good question, though I believe that God directs them, like everything else to where they need to be at any given time. If you want a more scientific answer, the clouds don't plan anything, as they are just water vapor that comes from oceans, lakes, and rivers and the wind blows them and they rip open when they can't hold any more water vapor. The wind keeps the rain distribution at an even pace, as clouds form in one area with that area's water vapor and then move to collect more and more vapor and then rip open somewhere else. It all works out, though mother nature isn't the One who drives the weather, as she can tame the waves or calm the storm.

Why do clouds form high in the air instead of near Earth's surface?

Clouds are so high because they are in form of a vapor that tends to take place in the gap of the hot air that moves upwards and falls in form of rain.. In fact, when you're high up in hilly areas you find clouds parallel or even below yourself.

How high off the ground can rain clouds be?

you are the answer person i think you should answer the question i gave you if you dont answer my question i will sue this website understood thanks your least fan

Are winds caused by similarities in air pressure?

If you mean "identical" air pressures, no.

Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, so you need to understand what you mean by "similar".

If you reckond 1050 hPa is "similar " to 1010 hPa (which will produce strong winds if the distance between them is only tens of miles), the answer is yes.

If you think 1050 hPa is similar to 1048 hPa, you'll only get a very light breeze.

Fast moving currents of air found near the top of the troposphere are called?

Jet streams. They are high altitude bands of fast-moving air that flow from west to east in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. Jet streams are driven by a combination of temperature gradients, the Earth's rotation, and atmospheric pressure differences.

What are some earth science questions?

  1. How do plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's plates contribute to the formation of mountains and earthquakes?
  2. What impact does climate change have on weather patterns, sea levels, and the overall health of Earth's ecosystems?
  3. How do geologists investigate and monitor volcanic activity to predict eruptions and mitigate potential hazards to surrounding communities?
  4. What processes are involved in the formation of different types of rocks, such as sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks?
  5. How do natural disasters, like tsunamis and hurricanes, form and what factors influence their intensity and impact on coastal regions?
