The high humidity levels allowed for the formation of larger cloud droplets, which in turn enhanced the clouds’ visual impact. The moisture also played a role in the vibrant colors that painted ...

How Are Clouds’ Shapes Made? Explore the diverse world of cloud formations, from ground-level fog to high-flying cirrus ...

The modified discussion clarifies points about water vapor and water droplets. An addional graphic was also added to illustrate basic cloud formation processes.

An unplanned experiment takes scientists closer to solving a long-standing mystery: To what extent, if any, have ...
