Will you get wet if you fall through a cloud?

Answer 1

For goodness sake don't try it!

Answer 2

Not really answering the question, but i found out in the past couple of days that clouds are in fact falling, not just sitting there floating. That would mean to fall through a cloud you would have to fall faster than the cloud (although I imaging clouds don't fall as fast as a human)
At a guess, i would say you wouldn't get wet as clouds are a gas, but i don't know.

Answer 3

Clouds are not water vapour. Water vapour is the gaseous phase of water and is invisilble. Clear air is full of water vapour and you can't see it.

Clouds are composed of minute water droplets or, higher up, ice crystals. Fog is composed of minute water droplets too. You can get wet in a fog as the water droplets stick to you so you can get wet falling through a cloud.

In some clouds the water droplets coalesce and form larger drops. When these get too heavy they fall out of the cloud and we call it rain. A raindrop is about a million times larger then the individual water droplets making up the cloud. If you were to fall through a rain cloud, you would get very wet indeed.

Please remember, though, that water vapour is a colourless transparent gas. It is not what clouds or fog are made of. The water vapour has to condense into water before you can see it.

Answer 4

Maybe.

It would depend on things like: how cold are you? How thick is the cloud?

Clouds are water vapour: that is, water in gaseous form. This alone will not make you wet. You will get wet if the vapour condenses into liquid and makes contact with you.

Have you ever breathed onto a glass or a window and seen it fog up? That's the water vapour in your breath condensing into liquid droplets on the glass. Usually this happens because the glass is colder than your breath. Similarly, if you're colder when you fall through the cloud (and you might be, if you've fallen from much higher up) then water vapour might condense into liquid on you, just like the glass.

In reality, it's likely that some vapour, at least, will condense on you somewhere.

Answer 5

Falling through a cloud would be like a slight spray of mist. So no you would not get wet, only slighty damp if that

Answer 6

Yes you would, the reason is that clouds are just a mass of water droplets not heavy enough to fall, when they have enough density they will fall and this is called rain. Hope that answers your question :)

Answer 7

I've driven though clouds driving up mountains. Yes. It's WATER vapor. Wet.

Answer 8

Do you get wet when you walk around on a foggy day? Usually a bit, but not enough that you'd need a towel. Fog is ground-level cloud, so same thing.

Answer 9

Clouds are water vapour - like mist,

so I would presume that if you fall through it you will get some water on your skin.....

But as to "wet" that will depends on your defination of wet!

Answer 10

Of course you would. There is water vapour in clouds that is wet. Even though it is a gas it has moisture.

Answer 11

a cloud is just vapor,like the steam from a kettle and yes it makes you wet
