õhupilvede

õhupilvede refers to cloud formations in Estonian. Clouds are visible masses of condensed water vapor or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. They form when water vapor in the air cools and condenses onto tiny particles like dust or salt. The type of cloud that forms depends on factors such as temperature, altitude, and atmospheric conditions.

Common cloud types include cumulus, which are fluffy and white, often associated with fair weather; stratus, which are flat and gray, often bringing drizzle; and cirrus, which are thin and wispy, composed of ice crystals and found at high altitudes. Clouds play a crucial role in Earth's weather and climate systems. They reflect sunlight, helping to cool the planet, and they also trap heat, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Precipitation, such as rain, snow, and hail, originates from clouds. The study of clouds, known as nephology, is an important part of meteorology, aiding in weather forecasting and understanding atmospheric processes. The appearance and behavior of õhupilvede are constantly changing, reflecting the dynamic nature of our atmosphere.
