Write one questions you still have about clouds. en-us 2021-10-21 17:11:27 UTC 2025-09-05 22:02:15 UTC hello@padlet.com ltonstad https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836267008 Fog is a type of cloud.  Clouds form at different levels in the atmosphere.  Scientist don't know why, but green clouds mean severe weather and hail.  
How can we use clouds to predict weather? ]]> 2021-10-22 13:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836267008 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836633465 1.When a cloud is so heavy it turns grey because it blocks out the sun
2.Clouds move with the wind
3.If clouds clump together the can make a shadow that looks like a cloud is grey.
Question. Why don’t clouds look different then white?]]> 2021-10-22 15:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836633465 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836650374 Thunderstorms come from a cumulonimbus cloud. Clouds float by wind. Clouds can blow to about 1,000 miles. Why are clouds white.]]> 2021-10-22 15:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836650374 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836654489 1.Cirrus clouds mean the weather will change in 24 hours.

2. Clouds can be green, yellow, orange,blue, and violet.

3. US green clouds are associated with storms that have hail or tornadoes.

Question: why do clouds look like animals sometime????]]> 2021-10-22 15:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836654489 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836658210 1. if a cloud is high enough it will turn grey
2.fog is made when hot air and cold air mix
3.Alto clouds are made out of ice and water 
How many clouds are there?]]> 2021-10-22 15:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836658210 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836659282 A cloud is a large collection of ice crystals and/or water droplets. 2 Mammatas clouds are orange and other colors they are usually associated with severe weather. 3 Lenticular clouds only form by mountains. Why does fog come to earth?]]> 2021-10-22 15:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836659282 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836661713 Green clouds means bad weather. Some clouds are made of ice crystals. Some clouds can be 20,000 feet above earth! Water droplets fall from the clouds very fast, so why does it not evaporate in the air?]]> 2021-10-22 15:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836661713 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836665133 Cumulus  clouds are clouds that can turn into cumulonimbus clouds and create thunder storms.

Fog is a cloud that is very close to the ground.

Cirrus clouds are the most common cloud in the high zone for clouds.




Why do cumulus look like Cotten?]]> 2021-10-22 15:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836665133 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836669304   There are 3 levels of clouds.
  When water is warmed by the sun it rises and cool’s.
Clouds have names.
Why when clouds cool off they don’t fall?]]> 2021-10-22 15:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836669304 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836669334 1.I learned that thunderstorm clouds move at 30 to 40 mph.   
2.I also learned that as long as the cloud and the air is warmer  than the outside air it floats. 
3.Another thing I learned is that alto clouds are gray or blue-gray because of the water vapor and ice crystals.
How long does it take to form a cloud?]]> 2021-10-22 15:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836669334 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836671857 1. I learned that cirrus and cirrostratus and cirrocumulus clouds are made of ice crystals because their so high in the sky 
2. cirrocumulus clouds are called mackerel clouds because they look like fish skin 
3. Cumulonimbus is a sign of it is going to lightning, thunder, or tornado 

How do clouds get there names]]> 2021-10-22 15:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836671857 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836672220 Since light travels as waves of different lengths, each color has its very own unique wave length. Clouds are white because their water droplets or ice crystals are large enough to scatter the light of the seven wave lengths ( red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and indigo also violet.) which combine.

A cloud is a large collection of very tiny droplets of water or ice  crystals. The droplets are so small and light that they can float in the air.

All air contains water, but near the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. When warm air rises, it expands and cools. Cool air can’t hold as much water vapor. 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.

Are clouds hot or cold?]]> 2021-10-22 15:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836672220 https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836674142 Cirrus clouds are the highest clouds and they are sometimes called mares tails mares is a kind of horse and  cumulus clouds are puffy and look like cauliflower and fog is made out of water droplets that form ground level and how do clouds tell the wether]]> 2021-10-22 15:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sps186/8jmin78c0a8ntkm8/wish/1836674142
