What is the difference between a cumulus, stratus, and cirrus?

Cumulus clouds are the most common type of cloud and they typically form in warm, moist air. They are tall and puffy and can be seen as fluffy white or gray masses. Stratus clouds are low-level clouds that cover a large area of the sky. They are often gray or dark and they don't produce rain. Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy, high-level clouds that can be seen in cold air. Cumulus clouds are the most common type of cloud and they typically form in warm, moist air.

What colors are typical in a thunderhead?

The colors in a thunderhead are usually dark and light gray. A thunderstorm is the result of warm, moist air colliding with cold, dry air. This causes a buildup of static electricity in the clouds which then causes lightning to strike. Lightning strikes can be seen as bright flashes from within the cloud and will often cause the dark clouds to glow for a few seconds afterwards.

What is the difference between a cumulus and a cumulonimbus?

Cumulus clouds are typically flat and white, with a "heaped" appearance. They form in the lower atmosphere and have short life spans. Cumulonimbus clouds are tall, dark, and dense. They form in the upper atmosphere, which is called the troposphere. These clouds can last for hours or days at a time. Cumulus clouds are typically flat and white, with a "heaped" appearance.

How are thunderheads formed?

Thunderheads are formed when warm, moist air rises into the atmosphere and condenses into water droplets. The heat of the sun then evaporates these droplets and they form clouds. Thunderheads are formed when warm, moist air rises into the atmosphere and condenses into water droplets. The heat of the sun then evaporates these droplets and they form clouds. This process is known as convection. Convection is also responsible for producing rain, hail, snow, sleet, or any other type of precipitation that falls from a cloud to Earth's surface.

How does altitude affect the formation of thunderheads?

The higher the altitude, the colder the air is. Colder air is denser than warmer air and therefore it has a lower boiling point. The water vapor in cold air condenses into liquid droplets or ice crystals when it reaches its boiling point. This process releases heat energy, which can be seen as lightning. The updrafts that are created by these convection currents provide lift for thunderstorms to form at high altitudes.

Virga are clouds that appear to be falling from the sky. They are often mistaken for rain, but they are actually evaporating water droplets. Virga are clouds that appear to be falling from the sky. They are often mistaken for rain, but they are actually evaporating water droplets. These types of clouds form when warm air rises and moisture condenses into tiny droplets of liquid water suspended in the air. The rising air can't hold all of this moisture, so some of it condenses and falls back down as virga. Virga can also form when a cold front moves through an area with warm moist air above it.

What is the difference between moisture, dew point and relative humidity?

Moisture is the amount of water vapor in the air. Dew point is the temperature at which moisture will condense into liquid water. Relative humidity is a measure of how close to saturation a given volume of air is. The difference between moisture, dew point and relative humidity can be seen by looking at these three different things: clouds, fog and sweat. Clouds are made up of condensed water droplets that form when the dew point reaches or exceeds the ambient temperature. Fog occurs when moist air cools to its dew point and condenses into liquid droplets on contact with surfaces like cold pavement or trees, forming foggy patches on ground level as well as overhead. Sweat is produced by your body's response to heat, caused by evaporation from your skin. The higher the relative humidity, the more difficult it becomes for sweat to evaporate from your skin because there's already so much moisture in the air that it can't evaporate any faster than it already does.

What are hail stones made of?

Hail stones are made of ice. They form in thunderstorms when the updrafts of air are strong enough to carry water droplets up into the colder atmosphere. As these droplets freeze, they become small ice pellets that fall back down to earth as hail.

What causes hail stones to form?

Hail stones form when supercooled water droplets are in contact with a frozen object. This causes the droplets to freeze and become hail stones. Hailstones form when supercooled water droplets are in contact with a frozen object. The freezing process happens quickly, and the result is a hail stone.
