No, aerosols are microscopic particles in the atmosphere that can act as cloud condensation nuclei and influence cloud formation, but they are not the only source of clouds and precipitation. Atmospheric temperature, humidity, and air flow patterns are also important factors in cloud and precipitation formation.
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are usually Sulfate aerosol (SO42- and methanesulfonic acid droplets).
You may be thinking about the term nucleation or coalescence. Creation of liquid droplets around aerosol particles is called nucleation. The aerosol particles themselves are known as seeds, while the water that form around them are known as droplets. When referring specifically to cloud formation in the atmosphere, the nucleation process is known as coalescence and the seeds can be called cloud condensation nuclei.These seeds can be natural, as in smaller water/ice particles or synthetic chemicals used for cloud seeding, including silver iodide and dry ice.
When clouds come near the land, it is called fog. Fog is a visible aerosol consisting of tiny water droplets suspended in the air, usually observed near the ground.
"The first aerosol spray can was invented in Oslo in Novenmber 23 1927 by Erik Rotheim, a Norwegian chemical engineer. The patent was sold to a US company for 100,000 Norwegian kroner." Invented in Norway. Produced in USA.

Aerosol particles can have both positive and negative effects on the Earth's atmosphere. While some aerosols can contribute to air pollution and harm human health, others can act as cloud condensation nuclei and play a role in cloud formation and regulation of the Earth's climate. It ultimately depends on the type of aerosol and its sources.
No an aerosol is a powder or liquid that has been equally dispersed into air. Smoke is granulated ash that is mixed unequally into the air. That's incorrect. Smoke is an aerosol, and I got that right from science class when I made a cloud out of ice and aerosol in a jar. So...I was talking about smoke from a match. Not a cigarrette. They are a bit different.
As stated elsewhere on this site, an aerosol is a suspension of particles within a gas. A good example of a aerosol is smog, cigarette fumes or any type of dust cloud. Our everyday air has thousands of particles suspended in it. Many of these are man-made, though typically they are naturally present.
An aerosol is a cloud of solid or liquid particles in a gas. I think you are asking if FDS contains a propellant. I believe the Isobutane in the product is used as a propellant and is also what makes the product flammable.
An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. Aerosols can be natural, like sea spray or volcanic ash, or anthropogenic, like pollution from cars or aerosol sprays. Aerosols play a role in climate, air quality, and health.
Yes, pollution can affect cloud formation by altering the composition of aerosols in the atmosphere. Increased levels of pollution can lead to more aerosols, which can impact cloud droplet formation and properties, potentially influencing cloud cover, precipitation patterns, and overall cloud behavior.

Examples of liquid aerosols include: Fog: A natural aerosol where the dispersed phase is liquid and the dispersing medium is gas. Mist: A natural aerosol where the dispersed phase is liquid and the dispersing medium is gas. Geyser Steam: A natural aerosol where the dispersed phase is liquid and the dispersing medium is gas. Tobacco Smoke: A human-caused aerosol where the particles are liquid aerosol droplets, mostly water, with a mass median aerodynamic diameter that is submicrometer. Perfume from Atomizers: A human-caused aerosol where the dispersed phase is liquid and the dispersing medium is gas. These examples illustrate the various forms of liquid aerosols, which are suspensions of small liquid particles in a gas.
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are usually Sulfate aerosol (SO42- and methanesulfonic acid droplets).
The constituent part of a solid aerosol is a particle, as opposed to a droplet in a "liquid" based aerosol.
