Clouds precipitate when water droplets or ice crystals within the cloud grow large enough to overcome the forces keeping them aloft, such as updrafts. Once the droplets or crystals become too heavy, they fall out of the cloud as precipitation, such as rain or snow.

Why are sometimes clouds in the sky that don't rain or snow?

Clouds just collect water, they precipitate (rain) when there is a large amount of water in the clouds, so the clouds that you don't see rain are clouds that have collected water but not enough to precipitate.


Are clouds inexhaustible?

No they can precipitate all their content.


Clouds do not precipitate in deserts due to Low Humidity or Low Pressure or High Wind velocity or High temperature?

Clouds do not precipitate in deserts primarily due to low humidity. Deserts have very dry air with low moisture content, which limits the formation of rain clouds. The low humidity prevents sufficient condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere to form clouds that can produce precipitation.


Is it dry or wet next to the equator?

the equator is where the rainforests are located..... so wet.... the heat causes moisture in the air, land and sea to rise and forms clouds, when the clouds precipitate there is a lot of moisture in them so (naturally) there is more rain.


Are clouds always white?

No, clouds are not always white. Their color depends on if they are a precipitate, the time of day, and the color of the sky in general.


What comes first cloud formation or precipatation?

Cloud formation typically comes first before precipitation. Moisture in the air condenses to form clouds as the air rises and cools. Once the clouds become saturated with water droplets or ice crystals, precipitation can occur when the droplets or crystals become heavy enough to fall from the clouds.


Do rivers precipitate?

No, because rivers aren't condensed clouds or rain.... ಠ_ಠ


Do clouds respond to stimuli?

Yes, clouds respond to light by being evaporated from water. By responding to gravity, clouds precipitate back into water. Although clouds respond to the environment, they are not living things.


What cloud does rain form in?

Rain falls primarily from cumulus, stratocumulus and stratus clouds. When cirrus clouds precipitate, they normally produce ice crystals.


What is a good sentence for precipitate?

The sudden drop in temperature caused the storm clouds to precipitate, resulting in heavy rainfall.


What is rainwater?

rain water is water that's precipitating from the clouds when it would evaporate then it would precipitate rain water


Why don't clouds precipitate in the deserts?

It's so hot in the desert The rain evaporates quicker than it falls.
