Could this cloud be artificially formed?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Alexandergraham Davis Can you make an artificial cloud? Quote from video: Well it becomes a cloud as that water vapor rises in the atmosphere. It cools. And when it gets high enough it creates condensation it sticks to tiny particles in the atmosphere. How artificial clouds are formed? An artificial cloud in the

How long to melt all the polar ice?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Lisa Carney There are more than five million cubic miles of ice on Earth, and some scientists say it would take more than 5,000 years to melt it all. If we continue adding carbon to the atmosphere, we’ll very likely create an ice-free planet, with an average temperature of perhaps 80 degrees Fahrenheit
