clouds

Definition von clouds im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch: Tiny visible water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air; A visible body of very fine water droplets or ice particles suspended in the atmosphere at altitudes ranging up to several miles above sea level; plural of cloud; The air around us always contains water, but it's usually in the form of vapor When air is warmed on a sunny day or by the interaction of colliding air masses, it becomes lighter and begins to rise As it rises, the air cools Colder air has less ability to hold water vapor, so it condenses into water droplets on small particles, such as dust The water droplets join together to form clouds; a suspended mass of water vapor in the atmosphere Clouds can be categorized into two general groups: cumulus clouds (tall, cotton ball) and stratus clouds (layered); these can be divided even further to 4 sub-groups describing altitude: 20,000 ft and above are the cirrus or cirro clouds (cirrocumulus, cirrostratus), composed of mostly ice crystals; from 6,500 to 20,000ft are the alto clouds (altostratus, altocumulus); Low clouds develop up to 6,500ft (stratocumulus, nimbostratus) ,can contact the ground and when they do so, are called fog; existing at many heights, extending far from their bases are the Vertical clouds, such as the cumulus (Cumulonimbus clouds, can have their base near the ground yet reach heights of 75,000ft ); A mass of tiny drops of water or ice particles floating in the air high above the Earth Clouds may be white, rounded heaps; fleecy streamers; or dark almost black masses; A visible mass of liquid water droplets suspended in the atmosphere above Earth's surface Clouds form in areas where air rises and cools The condensing water vapor forms small droplets of water (0 012 mm) that, when combined with billions of other droplets, form clouds Clouds can form along warm and cold fronts, where air flows up the side of the mountain and cools as it rises higher into the atmosphere, and when warm air blows over a colder surface, such as a cool body of water; A visible aggregate of minute water and ice or just ice particles in the atmosphere above the surface of the earth Clouds differ from fog only by definition--fog is in contact with the surface of the earth; form when warm moist air is forced upward and cools Water vapour in the cooled air condenses into tiny droplets These droplets form clouds There are many types of clouds, including cumulus, cumulonimbus, status, and altostratus When droplets join and become too heavy, they fall to earth as precipitation; Fluffy things you should try to avoid flying through whilst under canopy (While obscured by a cloud someone else could collide with you) If you are forced to fly in cloud do left hand turns (everyone will stay in roughly the same horizontal position); third-person singular of cloud

The 10 main cloud families are divided into three groups on the basis of altitude. High clouds, which are found at mean heights of 45,000-16,500 ft (13-5 km), are, from highest to lowest, cirrus, cirrocumulus, and cirrostratus. Middle clouds, at 23,000-6,500 ft (7-2 km), are altocumulus, altostratus, and nimbostratus. Low clouds, at 6,500-0 ft (2-0 km), are stratocumulus, stratus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus.
