Rain is a common phenomenon on Earth. There is a similar phenomenon on the Sun, called coronal rain. It is related to the coronal heating and magnetic field, and plays a fundamental role in the mass ...

Scientists for decades have attempted to learn more about the complex and mysterious chain of events by which tiny droplets in clouds grow large enough to begin falling toward the ground. Better ...

Water moves between pools through evaporation into water vapor, transport through the atmosphere, condensation to form clouds, and returns to the surface as precipitation. At its core, the water cycle ...

Chief Meteorologist Michael Stevens demonstrated a STEM experiment in Traverse City to show how rain forms using a mason jar and ice cubes. The demonstration illustrates the atmospheric processes of ...

Tackling a long-time mystery, scientists have found that the turbulent movements of air in clouds play a key role in the growth of water droplets and the initiation of rain. The research can improve ...
