Linked from

The 11 pages that link to Cloud formation, each with the reason it gives.

• TurbulenceRelated: Turbulent mixing changes the temperature and humidity conditions that govern condensation.

• Latent heatRelated: Condensation and freezing release latent heat that influences cloud and storm dynamics.

• Orographic liftRelated: Cooling during forced ascent can bring air to saturation and produce clouds.

• Water vaporRelated: Clouds appear when vapor condenses or deposits onto particles in the atmosphere.

• CondensationRelated: Cloud droplets form when rising, cooling air condenses water vapor.

• Atmospheric convectionRelated: Convection lifts moist air, which cools and can form clouds.

• Cloud chamberNarrower topic: Wilson adapted laboratory studies of cloud formation into a detector for ionizing particles.

• HumidityRelated: Saturated humid air can condense on particles and form cloud droplets.

• Cloud classificationNarrower topic: The processes that create clouds produce the structures the classification names.

• Stratus cloudNarrower topic: Stratus forms when moist air near the surface cools to saturation and spreads into a layer.

• Substellar objectRelated: Condensate clouds alter the colors and spectra of many substellar objects.
