If there was'nt such a thing as dust, would life on our planet be able to exist. ?

Question

Are'nt clouds evaporated water condenced on to dust. No dust no water ?

Thank you for your answers. BUT. If clouds formed less often, our dear old SUN would shine more on us, Our earth would heat up, melt the ice caps and flood most land mass. If we were lucky to survive that problem, would we be able to stand the terrific heat that we would then be subjected to.

Answer 1

The world would have to be formed of some super hard glass-like material for there to be no dust I think. That would be pretty dang hard for life to take hold on. But you never know. Life is pretty hardy.

Answer 2

No, clouds could still form, just not as readily, so precipitation wouldn't be as prevalent.

Look at Jupiter, there are plenty of clouds visible, and there is no particulate matter present. It's just that dst particles make it much easier for the cloud to form.

Answer 3

Technically,
The only way to have earth without dust, you could have no rocks, which means no ground to live on...

That all means that only micro-orginisims would possibly be able to live. Search Jupiter.

But the only way to find out is... how can I say this...

Just start vacuuming...

Great, you got me started :P

Vacuum cleaners do not actually for vacuums... but partial vacuums... it is impossible to form vacuums on earth...

Answer 4

The dust mites surely wouldn't exist.

Rain needs to be seeded by particles. Those particles could be volcanic ash, smoke or dust.

Answer 5

Any small particulates can be a "condensation nucleus" for a cloud to form. While clouds would form less often, they would still form and it would still rain.

Answer 6

Dust will always exist. Dust is simply "very small pieces of things". To suggest that things cannot exist in very small pieces is absurd.
