What is a cloud A cloud is a group of water droplets in the atmosphere The water vapor condenses during the water cycle to form clouds Cirrus Clouds They are the highest clouds They look thin wispy or feathery.

Yuter. , Matthew Miller, David . Second Grade Science. By: Christy Gibson . Clouds. A . cloud is composed of tiny water droplets (or ice crystals) that are suspended in the air. . If . the droplets become large enough. , they . may be visible as a cloud or fog. Two key impacts. Cloud feedback. Response of clouds to increased CO. 2. Aerosol indirect effects (AIEs). Response of clouds to changes in aerosol particles. Cloud feedbacks. Uncertainty in cloud feedbacks is main source of uncertainty in climate sensitivity. In this file you can learn about the ten main types of cloud and how you could begin to recognise them.. Teacher’s . Notes. Make use of the forward . arrow button to move through the program.. . Special thanks to Malcolm Walker, of the Royal Meteorological Society, for checking this presentation.. By Kelsey Shields. Definition. A cloud is a visible collection of particles of ice or water suspended in the air, usually at an elevation above the earth’s surface.. Different Kinds. There are four different types of clouds families. We then break the four families into ten different genus. They differentiate in the way they look, and the level of height they are at.. Rain . Sleet . Snow . Hail . Rain notes for Teacher. “Rain . makes the grass green . and your . garden grow. . When the air holds lots of water droplets, clouds form. If a lot of water droplets gather in the clouds, the clouds become heavy. Gravity causes the water droplets to fall as rain. . 6. th. Grade Science. Clouds. Water from the earth’s surface moves into the air by . EVAPORATION. and becomes . WATER VAPOR.. Clouds are formed when rising air is cooled and the water vapor condenses on particles in the air and forms tiny water droplets.. Florent. . Brient. , . Tapio. Schneider, . Zhihong.

Feathery or tufted. Looks like horse tails. Are found between 6000 and 12,000 meters. Made of ice crystals. May be followed by rain or snow. Cirrus. Stratus. Means sheets or layers. Flat, gray clouds that cover the whole sky. 23-2. Clouds. Small water droplets or ice crystals that fall through air. Fog is a cloud that forms near the surface. Formation. Solid surface are needed for water vapor to condense on. Troposphere – lower layer of atmosphere. Tom Lachlan-Cope. John King, . Amélie. Kirchgaessner.
