The Italian noun 'nube' translates to 'cloud' in English. It refers to a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere.
Clouds are an essential part of Earth's weather system and play a crucial role in the water cycle. They form when warm air rises and cools, causing the water vapor to condense into tiny droplets or ice crystals. Clouds come in various shapes, sizes, and altitudes, and they can indicate different weather conditions.
Understanding clouds is important for meteorologists as they provide valuable information about current and future weather patterns. Cloud cover affects temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation, influencing climate on both local and global scales.
