What are clouds and how do they form? What are the names of clouds and what do they mean. How does lightning form? How many amperes are in a return stroke of lightning? Read this short article and watch the video and answer the above questions.
how do clouds work?
Condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere that is visible.Clouds form when air cools to the point where some of the water vapor comes together to form a cloud.Cumulus meaning heap or pile flat on the bottom with big billowy tops
ReplyDeleteStratus meaning layer. It is like a blanket of clouds covering the air.
Cirrus meaning curl of hair. It is a thin cloud.
Nimbus meaning rain or rainy cloud likely to bring precipitation. Lightning forms from negative charges in clouds that are attracted to positive charges in other clouds or on the ground. There are around 1500 to 30000 amperes in a return stroke of lighting.
We thought the video said that there was only 10000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.

I also believe that nimbus also means rain or rainy cloud likely to bring rain.
DeleteNO theres 15000 to 30000 in the returen strike.
DeleteClouds are bundles of water in the sky. Clouds are formed when water from the earths surface evaporates and collects in the sky.Cumulus means heap or pile, Stratus means layer, and Cirrus means curl of hair and Nimbus means rain or rainy cloud. Lightning is formed by an electric charge high inside the cloud. There are 10,000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.

A cloud is condensation form of water vapor.
ReplyDeleteIt forms by water building up a large mass of water.
There are four types of clouds:
Cumulus - meaning heap or pile
Stratus - meaning layer
Cirrus - meaning curl of hair
Nimbus - meaning rain or rainy cloud
Lightning is formed by static electricity. Which is when the cloud rub against each other creating electricity. Like when you are wearing sock and running you feet across the carpet and go and touch some one or some thing and shock your self or that person.
There are between 15000 to 30000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.
We like your analogy with rubbing your feet on the carpet compared to lighting. Everything else we got is pretty much the same.
DeleteDid they talk about the amperes in the video? We thought that it was 10,000 amperes.
DeleteYes, that is correct that nimbus means rain or rainy cloud.
DeleteDid you know that cumulus and nimbus clouds can combine to form a towering storm cloud, that is called cumulonimbus?
We have noticed that cirrus clouds look like strands of hair.
We have also noticed that stratus clouds (which are layers) are typically dark gray.

Clouds form by water vapor build up in the atmosphere.Cumulus flat on the bottom with big billowy tops.Stratus short and spread across great distances.Cirrus wispy and thin.Nimbus likely to bring precipitation.Lightning forms by the build up of electrons in the atmospere.
ReplyDeleteClouds are floating bundles of rain. their are 4 main types Cumulus Stratus Cirrus and Nimbus. Lightning is formed when two clouds rub against each other creating a spark of electricity. There are 15000 to 30000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.
ReplyDeleteA return stroke of lightning does usually have 15000 to 30000 amperes, but sometimes it can have up to 100000!
DeleteSorry, Josh and I forgot to add my name into this post...
DeleteClouds are collections of water in the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteCumulus (meaning heap or pile) clouds are flat on the bottom and poofy/fluffy at the top.
Stratus (meaning layer) clouds are thin and widespread.
Cirrus (meaning curl of hair) clouds are thin and wispy.
Nimbus (meaning rain or rainy cloud) are most likely going to cause precipitation.
Lightning is the way that the atmosphere balances electric charges that have been separated. Those charges are separated when rain and ice particles collide. The particles of an electron cause the lower part of the storm to be filled with a negative charge, and since the earth has a positive charge, lightning is created.
In a return stroke of lightning can have up to a hundred thousand amperes.
I like your descriptions on the clouds. Very thought out.
DeleteYou sound a lot more scientific than me with the way you guys described lightning.
Clouds are collections of condensed water vapor in the sky. They form when water vapor condenses in the sky. The cloud types are cumulus which means heap or pile, stratus which means layer, cirrus meaning curl of hair, and nimbus meaning rain or rainy cloud. lightning forms when a spark of electrons forms inside a cloud 5 miles up and then begins to branch off and split until it reaches the ground, where objects send up little streamers of electrons and when they collide the lightning surges with electricity and strikes. There are 10000 amperes in a return strike.
ReplyDeleteUsually, a return stroke only has about 15000 and 30000 amperes, though.
ReplyDeleteClouds are a mixture of evaporated water and dust in the sky. Clouds form when water evaporates and collect into a bundle in the sky. Cumulus means heap or pile. Cirrus means curl of hair. Nimbus means rain or rainy cloud. Lightning forms by an electrical charge in the cloud. There are 1500-30000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.
ReplyDeleteLighting forms from a negative charge in a cloud not just any charge
DeleteClouds are collections of water in the sky. They form by condensation. The names if the clouds are Cumulus, Stratus, Cirrus, and Nimbus. Cumulus (means heap or pile) clouds are flat on the bottom with big, billowy tops. Stratus (means layer) clouds are short and spread across great distances. Cirrus (means curl of hair) clouds are wispy and thin. Nimbus (means rain or rainy cloud)clouds are likely to bring precipitation.Lightning forms from a tiny spark in the cloud, then electrons come out and travels 100 meters then stops and pulls for a few miliseconds. Then it goes in a different direction again and again and sometimes splits. This is called a stepped leader. When it gets close to the ground its electric feild exerts a pull on the ground. When the object on earth feel that the stepped leader is there they sent out streamers. When one of the streamers hits the stepped leader the electrons drain to earth in a bolt of light. The part closest to the ground drains first, and then it drains further and further up until it gets to the cloud itself. There are 1500-30000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.
ReplyDeleteWe thought that there was only 10,000 amperes in a return stroke of lighting
Deletewe like that you added facts in your summary and we found them helpful.
DeleteClouds form when warm air rises and expands, and then cools. Cool air can't hold as much water vapor, so the vapor forms a tiny droplets, which then form a cloud.
ReplyDeleteMeanings of Cloud Names:
Cumulus, heap or pile. Flat on the bottom, with big billowy tops.
Stratus, layer. Short, and spread across long distances.
Cirrus, circle of hair. Wispy and thin.
Nimbus, rain or rainy cloud. Likely to bring precipitation.
Lightning forms when two clouds run against each other which creates a spark of electricity. There are 15000 to 30000 amperes in return stroke of lightning.
Clouds are ominous tumbling masses that form when air cools to the point where some of the water vapor comes together to form a cloud.
ReplyDeleteCumulus- flat on the bottom with big billowy tops. Also means pile
Stratus-short and spread across great distances also means layer.
Cirrus-wispy and thin. This also means hair of curly.
Nimbus : likely to bring precipitation. This also means rain.
An electric charge high inside the cloud is how lightning forms.
There are 10,000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.
i agree with your very true statenment
Delete@Jalynn,maddie,and rheanna
DeleteIt is 1500 to 30000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.
We agree with liz and mathew that it is 1500-30000 amperes in lightning not 10,000
DeleteClouds are water vapor built up in the atmosphere.cumulus means heap or pile.stratus means layer.cirrus means curl of hair.nimbus means rain or rain cloud.Lightning is formed up by the build of electrons in the atmosphere
ReplyDeleteThere are also 15,000-30,000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.
DeleteYou forgot to put the number of amperes in a return stroke of lightning, it's 15,000-30,000.
Delete@Eric Fisher and Jesse Noell
DeleteYou forgot to mention that there are 1500-30000 amperes in a return strike of lightning.
Clouds are differentiated by altitude and by shape.The cloud types are Cumulus meaning heap, Stratus meaning layer, Cirrus meaning curl of hair, and Nimbus meaning rain. Clouds form when water vapor has something to cling to, causing it to turn from a liquid to a solid. Lightning is formed by electrical charges in the clouds. There are 15,000 to 30,000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.
ReplyDeleteYou never did say what clouds are, only how they are different.
Delete@ Brett and Dylan:
ReplyDeleteWe agree with Brooke and Taylar. But we also agree with everything you guys said. We all agree that it would be cool to learn about lightning, because it looks really cool up in the sky.
Clouds are the visible mass of water vapor in the air. Water heats up and turns into water vapor. The water vapor goes up into the air. Then on a really cold day the water vapor condenses into clouds.
ReplyDelete-Cumulus (means "heap" or "pile"): flat on the bottom with big billowy tops.
-Stratus (means "layer"): short and spread across great distances.
-Cirrus (means "curl of hair"): wispy and thin.
-Nimbus (means "rain" or "rainy cloud"): likely to bring precipitation. Lightning is formed by negative charges in clouds and positive charges in the ground and other clouds. There are 1500-30000 amperes in a return strike of lightning.
We didn't know only on cold days water vapor becomes clouds. Very interesting...
DeleteClouds are water vapor that has gathered in the atmosphere. They are formed by water being evaporated. Lighting is formed by negative electric energy comes down to earth.

ReplyDeleteWe forgot that clouds are water vapor and you can see it, it is probably the only water vapor you can see.
DeleteI agree with Sara...o and alex. (: But lets be Serious here i didnt get all that stuff on the lighting sooooooo thank you very much !
DeleteA cloud is when water vapor is in the atmosphere, it is formed when water heats up, then it rises and it eventually condenses into a cloud.

Clouds are visible water vapor in the air. The different kinds of clouds are cumulus (meaning "heap" or "pile"), stratus (meaning "layer"), cirrus (meaning "curl of hair"), and nimbus (meaning "rain" or "rainy cloud").

ReplyDeleteclouds are made of water that evaporates from the earths surface. there are four main types of clouds there is nimbus,stratus,cirrus,
ReplyDeletecumulus.
Clouds are the fluffy white shapes in the sky. They form from evaporation and condensation. On a hot day the water will evaporate and become water vapor, then when it gets up into the air it will start to condense to form clouds, if it keeps condensing it will get too heavy and it will start to rain.
ReplyDeleteSome cloud names are:
Cumulus meaning "heap" or "pile", Stratus meaning "layer", Cirrus meaning "curl of hair", Nimbus meaning "rain" or "rainy cloud".
Lightning forms when a trickle of electricity rushes outward from a charged region high inside the cloud. There are more then 100000000 volts in a lightning bolt.
I thought there were only 1,500-30,000 in a lightning bolt. I otherwise agree with your post.
DeleteYeah, I couldn't find that, I also didn't really know what they meant, so I put down how many volts they had.
Delete@ Jenna Bertke...
DeleteWe like your answer. It is very thorough and it is written in a very organized way. I like how you made each answer a separate paragraph.
I agree with Katherine and Meara, your paragraph was well written and had it organized in a very easy way.
Delete@ the CLASS
ReplyDeleteClouds float in the air for long periods of time and even though some are very thin they block the sun's harmful rays. How do they do it?
I agree with your statements, clouds are definitely visible water vapor. And I got the same thing for all the types of clouds, as well as where lightning comes from, but I couldn't find the return stoke for lightning. I tried looking through the video over and over, but I couldn't find it, I also wasn't sure what they meant by return stroke. But I agree with everything else, its what I put down as well.
ReplyDeleteClouds are collections of water vapor that form when water vapor rises into the atmosphere and condense.
ReplyDeleteCumulus-(Heap or pile)flat bottom with big billowy tops.
Stratus-(layer) short and spread across great distances.
Cirrus-(curl of hair):wispy and thin.
Nimbus-(rain or rainy cloud):likely to bring precipitation.
Lighting forms when negative charges in a cloud are attracted to positive charges on the ground or in other clouds.There are 1,500 amperes in a return stroke of lighting.
Clouds are made of water vapor that has condensed. When water evaporates and rises high into the sky it can condense and form a cloud. Cumulus clouds are flat and have puffy tops, their name means "heap or pile." Stratus clouds are short and spread large distances, their name means "layered." Cirrus clouds are wispy, their name means "curl of hair." Nimbus clouds are rain clouds. Lightning forms when a small spark of electricity runs down close to the earth and tall objects send a bolt of electric up to the charge. There is 15,000-30,000 amperes in a return stroke of lightning.

ReplyDeletelighting is very dangerous if a person gets struck by lighting the whole cloud of lighting will strike you to... it wouldnt just be a bolt of lighting.there were 1500-30000 strikes of lighting...
ReplyDeletewhat about the rest haha?
Deleteyou wouldnt always get killed if you were struck by lighting it depends on how many volts the strike of lightning has and how much the cloud produces at a time and 100 strikes of lighning hit the earth every second of every day.
Delete-ray wink
lighting can be dangerous for some people the main theing u have to do is stay away from metel and u wont get struck . but it does not hurt at all so if u get struck ur lucky person on earth. but u might die cause of how many bolts there is .
ReplyDelete@ Brandi
DeleteWe like your post but you forgot to include the questions that were asked. You should add how the lightning forms and not what it feels like. Also, you should add things about the clouds and how they form, there names, and ampers.
ok thanks for the tips hannah and rachel
DeleteCloud-a visible mass of water vapor in the air, water is heated and turns into vapor. From there the vapor goes up into the air. if u get hit b a lighting bolt you will not just get hit with one it will be all lighting in the cloud When one of the streamers hits the stepped leader the electrons drain to earth in a bolt of light.

lightning forms by a discharge of ground energy and cloud heat with a positive energy between a negitive charge in different areas
that is neat how lightning is formed by static curents and curves then curves and breaks into branches and light's from the ground to the sky and satelites can see lightning strike almost 100 times a second and space shuttles can see night storm's that is like a stroke of light that just look's like it ripe's the sky open.

Lightning is formed by an electric charge inside of a cloud
Clouds form when rising air through expansion that cools to the point where some of the water vapor molecules clump together.Clouds are tiny drops of condensation like rain which is water vapor and ice crystals that settle in the atmosphere. The names are cumulus , stratus,cirrus,and nimbus. A cumulus means globular cloud.A stratus means a large dark low cloud.A cirrus means a wispy white cloud.A nimbus means a dark grey cloud . Lightning forms from the builds up of electrons or negative charges in clouds.There are up to100,000,000.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you put the information in it and how you explained everything and I liked the details
DeleteClouds-Clouds form by evaporation and condensation if there is a bowl of water left out side some will got up to the clouds but the rest will become water vapor which goes up into the sky and becomes air.

Clouds are water vapor in the air. They form by the process of condensation and evaporation, by heating up then evaporate into the air. The types of clouds are:
ReplyDeleteCumulus which look flat on the bottom with big billowy top. It's heap or pile.
Stratus is short and spread across great distances.
Cirrus looks like curl of hair. It's wispy and thin.
Nimbus is a rainy cloud. It is more likely to bring precipitation, which is rain.
Lightening forms by static electricity, which means the clouds are rubbing against each other to create electricity. There are 1,500-30,000 amperes in the return stroke of lightening.
clouds are made of water vapor in the air. they are made by the water cycle like when the water avaoirates it forms clouds. diffrent types of clouds are cirrus which look like tails, cumulus (head of pile).lighting forms by static ellectricety.there are also 1,500.30,000 ampres in a stroke af lighting.

cloud can be so fun to look at. they form by evaporation and condensation i think fog is a type of low cloud.
ReplyDeleteClouds are basicly lots and lots of water vapor mushed together. First their cirrus clouds and the mean fair weather. Then theirs cumoulus clouds and they stand for warm weather most of the time. Then the last type of clouds are stratus stratus clouds bring continuse rain. Lightning forms from charges in thunderclouds . In the cloud their is negative and positive charges when a negative charge bumps into a positive charge it produces lightning. 15000-30000 amperes.
