How Trees Influence Cloud Formation Gaseous hydrocarbons released by plants are a major factor in cloud formation, reports new research.

The idea is to study cloud formation in the clear atmosphere of the Amazon and then watch how things change when varying levels of pollutants enter into the picture.

A perfect example of the latter came to Snopes' attention in January 2023, in the form of a YouTube video (originally posted on TikTok) supposedly showing a cloud formation in the shape of ...

When new particles develop in the atmosphere, this influences cloud formation and with that the climate too. Since a few years, these complex processes have been reproduced in a large air chamber ...

A spectacular and beautiful cloud formation was spotted in the skies above Australia by a passenger on an aeroplane.

Even if the cosmic rays themselves prove to be unimportant, research like the CLOUD project at CERN helps us learn more about the basic physics and chemistry underlying cloud formation. Nature, 2013.
