Meghformál

Meghformál is a term used to describe the process of cloud formation. It is a fundamental meteorological phenomenon that leads to the development of clouds in the Earth's atmosphere. This process begins with the presence of water vapor, a gaseous form of water, which is lifted into the atmosphere. As the air rises, it expands and cools. Cooler air can hold less water vapor than warmer air. When the air cools to its dew point, the temperature at which it becomes saturated, the excess water vapor begins to condense. This condensation occurs around tiny particles in the atmosphere known as condensation nuclei. These nuclei can be dust, salt, or other microscopic airborne substances. As water vapor condenses onto these particles, they grow into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, depending on the temperature. Millions of these droplets or crystals cluster together to form visible clouds. The type and appearance of the cloud depend on various factors, including the altitude, temperature, and the amount of water vapor present. Different atmospheric conditions result in the formation of diverse cloud types such as cumulus, stratus, and cirrus clouds.
