Answer:

the cold air and high moisture content in them Question 2: Condensation nuclei that are quite small and have a radius less than 0.2 um?

Answer:

Aitken nuclei

Question 3: cloud group based 2000-7000 m (6500 to 23,000 ft)

Answer:

middle clouds

Question 4: Why is radiation fog frequently called valley fog?

Answer:

heavy air drains downhill and collects in valley bottoms

Question 5: clouds where ice crystals bend the light passing through them and will often produce a halo (ring of light that encircles the sun or moon)

Answer:

cirrostratus

Question 6: How do cloud condensation nuclei enter the atmosphere?

Answer:

dust, valcanoes, factory smoke, forest fires, salt from ocean spray, and even sulfate particles emitted by phytoplankton in the oceans Question 7: What is a common form of evaporation-mixing fog that forms when cold air moves over warm water?

Answer:

steam fog

Question 8: what cloud resembles a fog that does not reach the ground

Answer:

stratus Question 9: The smaller number of condensation nuclei over the middle of the ocean produce (more/less), but (bigger/smaller)

Answer:

less; bigger Question 10: the amount of time the air temperature during the winter must remain below a certain value so that fruit and nut trees will grow properly during the spring and summer?

Answer:

Winter chilling Question 11: What happens when visibility of relative humidity lowers to less than 1 km, and when the air is wet with countless millions of tiny floating water droplets?

Answer:

the wet haze becomes a cloud resting near the ground (fog)

Question 12: cumulus cloud associated with weather

Answer:

cumulus humilis Question 13: What occurs when warm, moist air moves over a cold surface and the air cools to below its dew point

Answer:

advection fog Question 14: cloud where one part is darker than another, which helps to separate it from the higher cirrocumulus

Answer:

altocumulus

Question 15: How is advection fog different than radiation fog?

Answer:

it always involves the movement of air, so when there is a stiff summer breeze Question 16: cloud that appears as gray, puffy masses, sometimes rolled out in parallel waves or bands

Answer:

altocumulus Question 17: if the air temperature should drop to freezing or below, the dew will freeze, becoming tiny beads of ice called what?

Answer:

frozen dew Question 18: cloud that looks like little castles (castellanus) in the sky indicating the presence of rising air at cloud level

Answer:

altocumulus

Question 19: What is fog that forms as relatively warm moist air moves over a colder surface that cooled mainly by radiational cooling?

Answer:

advection-radiation fog Question 20: In the thinner section of what clouds, the sun or moon may be dimly visible as a round disk, as if the sun were shinning through ground glass; what is this appearance referred to?

Answer:

altostratus; watery sun

Question 21: What happens as the relative humidity gradually approaches 100%?

Answer:

the haze particles grow larger, and condensation begins on the less-active nuclei Question 22: Occasianlly, the sun will shine through the cloud breaks producing band of light that appear to reach the ground called what?

Answer:

crepuscular rays

Question 23: 3 high clouds

Answer:

Cirrus, cirrostratus, cirrocumulus

Question 24: wispy cloud

Answer:

cirrus Question 25: What clouds are low lumpy clouds that appear in rows, in patches, or as rounded masses with blue sky visible between the individual cloud elements

Answer:

stratocumulus
