What are 2 differences between stratus clouds and cirrus clouds?
Stratus clouds are low clouds, flat gray clouds. Cirrus clouds are high clouds made up of ice crystals
What are three ways in which clouds can affect climate?
Clouds can absorb radiation and it can redirect the radiation at night. It can also cause precipitation
Explain what part do tiny, solid particles in the atmosphere play in cloud formation?
Condensation nuclei are the tiny particles that the water vapor needs to condense on the vapor back to water droplets.
What is the dew point temperature at which cloud formation began?
16 degrees Celsius
Explain why cloud formation doesn’t take place until the dew point temperature is reached?
The dew point temperature causes the water to go from a gas to a liquid creating the water droplets that create the clouds.
What kind of cloud would you expect to form at the Leading Edge of a cold front where the warm air is gradually being pushed above cold air?
Vertical development clouds
What are the four classes of clouds based on altitude?
Low clouds, mid clouds, high clouds and vertical development clouds.
