Cloud Types
What is a cumulus cloud?
The energy that gets cloud formation started.
What is solar energy?
The charged particles all atoms are made of.
What are electrons and protons?
The typer of cloud formed when a mass of cold air collides at speed with a mass of warmer, wetter air.
What is a cumulonimbus cloud?
The type of cloud found highest in the sky.
What is a cirrus cloud?
Water molecules gaining enough energy to change from liquid to an invisible gas.
What is evaporation?
How negative charges interact with other negative charges.
What is repel?
Hail inside a cloud crashing into slivers of ice and stealing electrons.
What is charge separation?
The type of cloud that produces rain, but not thunder and lightning.
What is a nimbus cloud?
The process of water molecules losing so much energy that they stop flying around individually and start sticking together as a liquid.
What is condensation?
How negative and positive charges interact.
What is attract?
The cause of electrons on the ground getting pushed away from their atoms, leaving behind positive charges at the surface.
What is a thundercloud's electric field?
The type of cloud found in layers.
What is a stratus cloud?
A necessary ingredient for droplets to condense into clouds.
What is dust?
The process of a negative electric field pushing away the electrons in neutral area, like the ground under a thundercloud, or the wall next to a static balloon.
What is charge separation?
A house, or a car.
What is a safe place to be in a thunderstorm?
Clouds that form when cold fronts run into lots of warmer, wetter air.
What is a cumulonimbus cloud?
