Why do some clouds pass over without producing any rain?

Answer 1

In order for a cloud to rain it needs enough water molecules to build up. When the water molecules condense enough together they make the clouds heavy and therfore drop water. So clouds that don't rain at the time probably will eventually.

Answer 2

Some clouds may not produce rain because they lack enough moisture or turbulence to form precipitation. Additionally, the air beneath the cloud may be too dry or stable to support rainfall. The lack of lifting mechanisms, such as mountains or warm air rising, can also prevent rain from forming in a cloud.

Answer 3

No, not all clouds produce precipitation. For example, cirrocumulus clouds do not produce any precipitation whatsoever and they are associated with fine weather.

Clouds are formed of tiny visible water droplets or ice particles, depending on their temperature. They do not fall as precipitation (rain, snow, sleet) unless they are cooled, and combine with other water particles to form drops or crystals. In some cases, precipitation may fall, but evaporate again enroute to the ground.

Answer 4

there are no condensation nuclei in the world

Answer 5

Some clouds pass overhead without producing rain because they are not in cold enough places. Clouds start to produce rain when they are condensing

Answer 6

because they have not absorbed enough water to rain

Answer 7

some are not in cold enough places

Answer 8

no some are not in cold enough places
