how are clouds formed and bring us rain? explain briefly.

  • 1

The water goes up in the air by evaporation and transpiration. When the water droplets advances towards the poles they condense and all the droplets form clouds. Now when these clouds cant bear any more droplets and these droplets become big and heavy they fall in the form of rain.

Heat from the sun causes tiny drops of water to move from the ground up into the air. When water molecules warm up, they change from a liquid into a gas and rise up into the air, or evaporate. Water that has evaporated is called water vapor. Steam from a pot of water boiling on the stove is also water vapor. There is a lot of water vapor in the air we breathe.

Clouds are formed when water vapor rises high up into the air. When it reaches cold air, the vapor turns back into droplets of water! Those tiny drops of water floating in the air collect and "stick" together up in the sky. Clouds are just lots of drops of water all stuck together. When clouds get so full of water droplets that they can't hold any more, the water falls back to the ground as rain! Sometimes the water droplets freeze and fall to the ground as snow, sleet, or hail. Water or ice that comes from clouds is called precipitation.

Besides bringing precipitation, clouds also keep the earth cool. Warm air always rises and cool air sinks. On nights when there are lots of thick clouds, the earth does not lose its heat as fast because the clouds block the warm air from rising up as much. Cloudy nights are usually warmer than clear nights. On nights when there aren't many clouds, the heat rises up into the atmosphere, cooling the temperature of the earth.

Types of Clouds

There are three main types of clouds, but there can also be combinations of these clouds, and other names for them depending on how high they are in the sky. To learn more about cloud types and observing them to predict weather, we recommend a cloud chart.

Cirrus - thin and wispy clouds very high in the sky. They are often made of tiny pieces of ice and usually occur the day before rain or snow. The word cirrus comes from a Latin word that means "tuft or curl of hair."

Cumulus - large, fluffy clouds that are in the sky on days with nice weather (no precipitation). The wordcumulus means "pile" or "heap." Cumulus clouds can turn into clouds that bring thunderstorms, called Cumulonimbus clouds.

Stratus - dark layers of clouds that hang low across the sky like a blanket. The word stratus means "to spread out." Stratus clouds can bring rain, snow, or fog.

Science Words

Evaporate - when molecules warm up and change from a liquid into a gas.

Water Vapor - when water from the Earth evaporates into the air, it becomes a gas and is called water vapor.

Condense - when a gas cools down and turns back into a liquid.

 

 

 

Good Luck!!!

When warm air rises, it expands and cools. Cool air can't hold as much water vapor as warm air, so some of the vapor condenses onto tiny pieces of dust that are floating in the air and forms a tiny droplet around each dust particle. When billions of these droplets come together they become a visible cloud.
Precipitation occurs when moist air rises to cooler altitudes, condensing the water out of the air into droplets. Once these droplets become heavy enough, often by coalescing around motes of dust or other particles, they fall out of the cloud as precipitation. Without significant updrafts bringing more moisture to the cloud layer, the condensed water may remain light enough to stay aloft, which is why not every cloud brings rain.

Rain clouds may form in a variety of meteorological conditions. Commonly, they occur across frontal boundaries, where a mass of warm air is forced upward by a cold front, pushing a large amount of moisture into the upper atmosphere. This is the cause of long, soaking rains due to the sheer amount of condensation produced by the updrafts. Air masses may also be pushed upward by topographic features like mountains, producing rain on the lee side of these geologic features.

Another type of rain is produced when the sun's heating creates a convective current in the atmosphere. This energy heats the air near the ground, causing it and its moisture to rise in a relatively small area. This pattern tends to create small, isolated showers that can be extremely vigorous but may not move quickly, a common weather pattern in the summer months.
