Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals, usually a mixture of both. The water and ice scatter all light, making clouds appear white. If the clouds get thick enough or high enough all the light above does not make it through, hence the gray or dark look.
Q. At which stage of the water cycle does water return to Earth in the form of rain or snow?

Q. In which part of the water cycle does water return to Earth?
Water at the Earth’s surface evaporates into water vapor which rises up into the sky to become part of a cloud which will float off with the winds, eventually releasing water back to Earth as precipitation.
Q. Can you put a cloud in a jar?
Fill about 1/3 of your jar with the hot water. Quickly remove the lid, spray some into the jar, and quickly put the lid back on. You should see a cloud forming. Watch what’s happening inside the jar, the air is condensing, creating a cloud.

Q. What is the smell before it rains called?
Petrichor is the term coined by Australian scientists in 1964 to describe the unique, earthy smell associated with rain. It is caused by the water from the rain, along with certain compounds like ozone, geosmin, and plant oils.
Q. Are clouds made of ocean water?
Due to solar radiation, surface ocean water warms up and evaporates into the atmosphere. The water vapour is transported by the ascending air currents to altitudes where low temperatures condense the steam into water droplets or ice crystals that form clouds.
Q. Why does the rain smell like fish?
Quick Facts: A fishy smell can be caused by naturally occurring organic material in the earth like Barium or Cadmium metals. Chloramine is a compound of chlorine and ammonia used to disinfect public water sources. Unfortunately, it can cause an unwanted fishy odor in your water.
Q. Can you smell rain coming?
The rain smell’s actual name is petrichor, coined by two Australian scientists in the 1960s. Scientists say it’s a combination of ozone, petrichor and geosmin. Before it rains, a person might say that they can smell the storm coming. Their nostrils might be picking up the scent of ozone, or O3.
Q. What is the smell of wet forest?
The air in the forest smells good. It may smell like damp moss, rain, wet tree trunks, flowers, and needle-covered path. It may smell like a tree stump that is already creating new life, or even snow, frost, and softwood.
Q. Can humans smell rain better than sharks smell blood?
That means human noses are 200,000X more sensitive to geosmin, which is also the source of the earthy taste in some vegetables, than a shark is to blood.
Q. Can sharks smell period?
A shark’s sense of smell is powerful – it allows them to find prey from hundreds of yards away. Menstrual blood in the water could be detected by a shark, just like any urine or other bodily fluids.
Q. How far can sharks smell your blood?
Sharks can smell blood from up to around a quarter of a mile away. When you smell something in the air, it’s because scent molecules have dissolved into the wet lining of your nose.
