Why Do Some Clouds Produce Rain While Others Do Not?
为什么有些云会下雨,而有些不会?
-
Clouds form when warm air rises and cools down.云由暖空气上升并冷却形成。
-
Water vapor in the air turns into tiny water droplets.空气中的水蒸气凝结成微小水滴。
-
These droplets must grow large and heavy enough to fall.这些水滴必须长大变重,才能下落。
-
Rain happens when droplets combine and become too heavy.当水滴聚合变重时,便形成降雨。
-
Some clouds stay thin and cold without enough moisture.有些云层薄而冷,缺乏足够水分。
-
Others hold more water and rise higher in the sky.另一些云则含水量更高,升得更高。
-
Wind and temperature decide if rain will fall soon.风和温度决定是否很快会下雨。
-
No rain falls if droplets never grow big enough.若水滴始终长不大,就不会下雨。
