13 Απρ 2011 · evaporate: to change from a liquid to a gas, or vapor, at a temperature below the boiling point. condense: to change from a gas, or vapor, to a liquid. saturated: full of moisture. wispy: thin, light, delicate. parallel: extending in the same direction, everywhere equidistant, and not meeting.
The common forms of condensed moisture on surface are – dew and frost, adjacent to the surface in air – fog and at greater heights – clouds. Dew occurs due to contact cooling of moist air below dew point and frost when dew point is below freezing point. Fog represents microscopic water droplets suspended in air with base at or near surface.
Atmospheric moisture refers to the presence of water vapor in the air, which plays a critical role in weather patterns and climate. This moisture exists in various forms, including humidity, clouds, and precipitation, affecting temperature, pressure, and the movement of air masses.
There is no difference between fog and clouds other than altitude. Fog is defined as a visible moisture that begins at a height lower than 50 feet. If the visible moisture begins at or above 50 feet, it is called a cloud. Two common types of fog are called radiation fog and advection fog.
Simply having moisture and aerosols present in the atmosphere does not guarantee a cloud will form. To form an analogy to cooking, a bowl of flour, eggs, but-ter, and sugar will not come together to form a cake unless the ingredients are combined under just the right conditions.
26 Απρ 2024 · Clouds form when air becomes saturated, or filled, with water vapor. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air, so lowering the temperature of an air mass is like squeezing a sponge. Clouds are the visible result of that squeeze of cooler, moist air. Moist air becomes cloudy with only slight cooling.
