SCIENTIST ONLY PLEASE What does it mean if there is no clouds?

Question

There is ust a blue sky where i live but no clouds. For school School we have to write down what kind of cloud we see so i pit none.

Answer 1

It means that your area has a low percentage of cloud cover. Thats all. If there's no clouds then no types can be identified!

Answer 2

It means there is a break in the water cycle caused by either not enough release of water vapor from the ground and nearby bodies of water or not enough lower temperatures in the upper atmosphere to consdense this into stored pockets of water known as clouds.

When the surface temperature is too low or the water table too dry there will not be a release or evaporation of water or at least not in a quanity required to go into the air.

When the upper temperature is too high rising water vapor will not considense.

If the air is too dry the condensation could become evenly dispursed rather than bunching up into clouds.

Clouds often form near or over large bodies of water (hence, so-called "lake effect" conditions), like the oceans and then travel by being pushed by the winds. As they move they pick up water from evaporation of the land. If the humidity is too low and the temperatures are not right the clouds just float by.

If the upper and lower temperatures are just right and the air is nearly saturated with water the evaporation and condensation process becomes very high and eventually the clouds reach saturation point and start forming droplets that fall down from the clouds.

Eventually the clouds empty all their saturation as well as becoming dispursed through the air mostening the atmosphere and vanish.

A cloudless day means no nearby bodies of clouds have occured and there isn't enough natural evaporation/condensation in your area to form them on their own.

Clouds usually travel in belts, driven by fronts of cold and hot air and winds that circulate in these cells.

Warm, moist air from, say, the southern Pacific ocean gets swept north to colder Canada by a pressure cell and as it cools it condenses into clouds and as it gets squeezed between two cells it becomes a band of clouds circling between the low and high pressure cells along the fronts of these cells, moving either further out into the ocean or in towards land.

If there is low humity inland the clouds disspate with the winds and add mosture to the air. If there is good humidity they pick up mosture from the air and ground and consdense further until they reach a dew point (total saturation) and start to let droplets falls.

If they make is far as, say, the great lakes they may pick up more mosture from the lake and conitnue to the Atlanitic ocean.s

Answer 3

If you do not see any clouds all year around it means you live in a very dry place.

I have a friend that is a teacher in a place like this. First and second grade. When there is a cloud in the sky, all class goes outside and gets the cloud lesson.

Answer 4

Clouds are nothing more than water in the gaseous state. When water (humidity) evaporates it rises to an elevation where it's cool enough for the water vapor to condense. That temperature where this occurs is called the dew point. The reason you have no clouds is probably that there is not enough lifting to get the water vapor to a level cool enough for it to condense. I'd have to know your local geography to give you a better answer.

Answer 5

number of factors effect the formation of clouds
1. no water bodies for evaporation 2 take place
2. less heat for water 2 evaporate 2 form clouds
3.or high wind speeds implies that the cloud that r formed are blown away

Answer 6

If there were no clouds, the Earth's albedo (Albedo is the fraction of incoming sunlight that our planet reflects back to space) would be lower, and more sunlight would be absorbed. This would cause the Earth's temperature to become warmer. This would greatly affect life as we know it.

Answer 7

you really dont have to be acientist to answer this question.
It Pretty much meansthat there is no rain or precipitation around.
and its very dry

Answer 8

You don't have to be a scientist to answer this question!

Answer 9

no blue sky ,no mist ,no rain ,....that would also mean a sunless universe or waterless earth

Answer 10

it's clear
