Is it possible to remove clouds?

Storm experts in the US have made a cloud vanish from the sky for the first time. They achieved the feat by sprinkling a water-absorbing powder over the cloud, making it disappear from sight and weather station radar screens. They hope the powder will one day dry up deadly hurricanes and tropical storms.

Can we artificially move clouds?

The most common chemicals used for cloud seeding include silver iodide, potassium iodide and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide). Liquid propane, which expands into a gas, has also been used. This can produce ice crystals at higher temperatures than silver iodide.

How hard is it to move clouds?

As wind occurs at all levels of the atmosphere, it is quite easy to move the clouds. They remain stationary even during strong winds. In reality, the tiny droplets inside the cloud are moving with the wind, and new droplets are being formed at the same place that makes the cloud look stationary.

How do they remove clouds?

The technology is called “cloud bursting” (or “cloud seeding“) or using a chemical called silver iodide to “seed” the clouds and cause them to rain. By inducing rain and cloud dissipation for 24 hours before the wedding day, the team can guarantee a relatively cloud free and sunny environment on the day of.

Does it ever rain in Dubai?

Rainfall in Dubai is infrequent and does not last for a long period. It mostly rains during the winter period between November and March in the form of short downpours and an occasional thunderstorm. On average, rain falls only 25 days a year.

How long do clouds stay in the sky?

Clouds don’t float forever—if the surrounding air warms up, then the air is able to contain the cloud’s moisture as vapor, and the cloud will disappear. And sometimes, the cloud becomes so large and moist that the water droplets in the cloud begin sticking to each other, and grow bigger and bigger.

Is Dubai very hot?

Dubai tends to be extremely hot and humid in the months of July and August, with temperatures hitting around 45 °C (113 °F), and with lows of barely less than 30 °C (86 °F), making it the most unpleasant time to visit Dubai.

Do clouds move as fast as the wind moves?

In reality, if a cloud were to remain in the same place with no wind moving on it, its temperature wouldn’t be cold enough to condense water droplets and it would have remained as water vapor. Therefore, a cloud moves as fast as the wind moves.

Why Can’t we Touch clouds?

Although we can see clouds, if you were to try to touch one your hand would go straight through it. This is because the water droplets are very very small, like the water in steam. Although we can’t really touch clouds you could walk through one.

Is it possible to get rid of clouds and wind?

No. Your notion of cloud and wind is wrong. The notion that you have dates back thousands of years for us humans and is hard to get rid of but that is not what happens microscopically and macroscopically in nature. Cloud is a part of the air mass and typically marks the boundary of a certain feature of it.

Do clouds ever stay still?

If you’ve ever been outside on a fairly cloudy day, you might have noticed that clouds hardly ever stay still. Sometimes, you might see them moving ever so slightly, like you wouldn’t notice they were moving until you looked away and looked back up a few minutes later.
