Cloudy Weather

Cloudy weather refers to the condition where the sky is covered with clouds, resulting in limited visibility of the sun and the presence of diffuse light.

Causes of Cloudy Weather:

• Condensation: Clouds form when water vapor in the air condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, which then gather to form clouds.
• Frontal Lifting: When warm air rises and cools, it can lead to the formation of clouds as the moisture in the air condenses.
• Convection: Heating of the Earth's surface can cause air to rise and cool, leading to the formation of clouds.

Types of Clouds:

Clouds can take on various shapes and sizes, and they are categorized into different types, such as cumulus, stratus, and cirrus clouds, based on their appearance and altitude.

Effects of Cloudy Weather:

Cloudy weather can impact various aspects of daily life, including reduced sunlight, lower temperatures, and the potential for precipitation such as rain or snow.
