Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of creating clouds in a laboratory setting in a sustainable manner, including the necessary conditions of temperature and pressure. Participants also touch upon related phenomena such as fog and mist, and inquire about mass levitation techniques.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants inquire about experiments that successfully create clouds in labs, questioning the specific pressures and temperatures required.
  • One participant suggests that clouds are essentially water vapor and can be observed in everyday situations, such as in a bathroom after a hot shower, implying that lab conditions may not be necessary.
  • Another participant emphasizes that clouds, fog, and mist are visible forms of water vapor and notes that the formation of clouds is well understood scientifically.
  • There is mention of nucleation sites being necessary for cloud formation, although this point is not fully elaborated upon.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the necessity of laboratory conditions for cloud formation, with some arguing that natural conditions suffice while others maintain that lab experiments are valid and have been conducted.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference the conditions under which clouds form but do not provide detailed specifications or experimental results. There is ambiguity regarding the definitions of clouds, fog, and mist, and how they relate to laboratory experiments.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to those studying atmospheric science, experimental physics, or anyone curious about cloud formation and related phenomena.

hi pple
were there any expts. of making clouds in a sustainable form in labs.has there been made such distinct pressures and temps. for clouds to exist in any of labs here on the ground?kindly reply.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
and also about mass levitation techniques if anyone knows smthing about this kindly help

Clouds are water vapor, you don't need a lab as your/a shower stall will do...the Humidity in a bathroom, is about the same thing, just real small scale...as for temp and press, there are standards that they, clouds, form around...
:cool:

i was asking about clouds,fogs,mists and the like.they are the ones we can see with our eyes.

Yes clouds have been made in the laboratory, and the formation of clouds (fog is just a cloud on the ground) is about as well understood as anything in this world. Clouds are made of droplets of water that are small enough that the friction of falling cancels the acceleration of gravity (I mean these are equal and opposite forces for things this small and light).

Yes, and if you take a hot shower, you get the same thing occurring in your bathroom, on a real small scale...water vapor, and 'condensing' water vapor...I suppose it is missing the nucleation site requisites, but...I digress... :cool:
