    Why are clouds white?

    • Precipitation is made in them

    • They reflect the light of the sun

    • They reflect off of the ocean

    Correct Answer
    A. They reflect the light of the sun
    Explanation
    Clouds appear white because they reflect the light of the sun. When sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere, it scatters in all directions due to the molecules and tiny particles present in the air. The water droplets and ice crystals that make up clouds act as surfaces that reflect this scattered sunlight. Since sunlight is composed of all colors of the visible spectrum, when it is reflected off the cloud particles, it appears white to our eyes.

    How many are the common types of clouds?

    • There are 8 types of clouds

    • There are too many to count.

    • There are only 2 types of clouds.

    • There are 15 types of clouds.

    Correct Answer
    A. There are 8 types of clouds
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that there are 8 types of clouds. Clouds are classified into different types based on their appearance and altitude. The main types of clouds are cumulus, stratus, cirrus, and nimbus. Each type has its own distinct characteristics and can indicate different weather conditions. By understanding the different types of clouds, meteorologists can make more accurate weather predictions.

    What are the 3 different types of clouds?

    • Stratus, Nimbous, Cirrus

    • Cirrus, Cumulous, Stratus

    • Cumulous, Nimbous, Cirrus

    Correct Answer
    A. Cirrus, Cumulous, Stratus
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Cirrus, Cumulous, Stratus. These are the three main types of clouds based on their appearance and altitude. Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds that are thin, wispy, and composed of ice crystals. Cumulus clouds are puffy, white clouds that usually have a flat base and are found at medium altitudes. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds that are flat, featureless, and cover the entire sky, often bringing drizzle or light rain.

  • 5. 

    Why do clouds float?

    • The rain particles inside of them

    • They don't weigh anything

    • They are in the sky

    Correct Answer
    A. The rain particles inside of them
    Explanation
    Clouds float because the rain particles inside of them are very small and light. These particles are suspended in the air and are carried by the upward movement of warm air currents. As the warm air rises, it cools and condenses, forming tiny water droplets or ice crystals that make up the cloud. These droplets or crystals are so small and light that they can remain suspended in the air, causing the cloud to float in the sky.
