Why do soft cotton-wool clouds toss our jumbo jet around as soon as it flies into them?
P1060523_nuage



Clouds form any time warm, moist air rises. As it rises, the moisture in the air condenses into clouds as it reaches the cooler temps at higher altitudes. Thus, when you see large puffy "soft" looking clouds forming in the sky, you realize that there is probably a column of rising air underneath them. And, as the warmer air rises, it also releases energy. So, when you fly under or through these clouds, you are often going through a column of warm, rising air and it tosses you around a little. When this happens on a massive basis, they generally form thunderstorms wherein there is turbulence on a much higher scale. Thunderstorms have columns of rising air inside of them that can rip a plane to pieces and often rise well above 25,000 feet.
The air above most of these clouds is generally fairly stable.
There are other circumstances that can cause clouds and/or turbulence/wind shear but without an in depth discussion of meteorology, we'll leave it at that and see what else others can add.

do clouds really get made when cotton and water get stuck in the sky?
P1060521_nuage

I heared, a cloud is made when cotton floats i nthe air, and water surounds it, then it gets stuck in the jet stream, IS THIS TRUE!!!!!!

I have always considered this, and my friend confirmed it, AM I RIGHT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
its just common knowledge!!!

Was that a stupid question? I dont want to sound stupid, I am actualy pritty smart!


Your a nimrod! Its made when smoke or something like it is in the sky, but then water vapor during evaporation condenses and forms a cloud.

plain water vapor wont do it, as most people just think its ONLY water! But its not......... Frosty-p is right, HOW do you know about jet streams, but think clouds have cotton in them?

AND YES! That is a stupid question!!! OH YEAH! you are "actualy pritty smart!" YEAH RIGHT! you cant even spell!

Since few people found this question as interesting as all the stuff about sex or if they are pregnant, I'll let it go to vote. Thanks to all who did reply.
Okay. I have no choice. I have to pick a best answer. Wonderful stuff, thanks so much.


Are you drifting though another day?
Are you thinking there's another way?
Are you looking for a sign you’re on the right road?

Don’t you wish you could take off and fly
Like in a dream where you can touch the sky
Do you feel the desire in your heart like you’re gonna explode

(Chorus)
What lights you up, lifts you high?
lets the sun smile in your eyes
gives you hope you can feel
as your heart starts to reveal
your passion inside


Rolling freer with a lighter load
Moonlight showing us the open road
The wheels are turning and you know you’ve got a new start

Riding easy though the night was long
Life is working like a well-sung song
And the day is dawning like that steady glow in your heart

What lights you up, lifts you high?
lets the sun smile in your eyes
gives you hope you can feel
as your heart starts to reveal
your passion inside

(Bridge)

Have you had enough of those broken dreams?
Are you ready to make a new start?
Close your eyes and take a look inside
and listen to your heart


What lights you up, lifts you high?
lets the sun smile in your eyes
gives you hope you can feel
as your heart starts to reveal
your passion inside
