- This video ignores a lot about the weather and only focuses on the dynamics of a droplet. With that said, this was original analysis so let me know if there was something I mist...

You missed an amazing fenómeno that is also responsible for cloud stability. As water vapor becomes water droplets, it releases heat thus creating updraft. Clouds sustain themselves in the air!
Great addition, thanks for sharing!
This is one of the coolest things I have ever heard, and you taught me a new word, so bravo! 👏
Thanks! One more thing I've learned today!
Side note from me as a glider student pilot: Not all clouds get formed by heated up air that is rising, but you can tell the difference and when you see a cloud that actually formed by rising warm air you know where to fly to keep flying in a glider
Note: gliders dont have engines so need other means to stay afloat, they can just fall slower and while falling transfer potential energy to distance and heat from friction, as well as turbulence
Phenomenon*
dude you really are the most underrated science youtuber like i mean your video is talking about such an interesting topic with science but not to the point where it start getting annoying.
you really are one of my favorite channel on this platform
This means so much, thank you!
@@JaDroppingScience ye i agree with him
@@JaDroppingScience he's right, no one is making science educational videos like you. Keep up the amazing work ❤️.
I agree too, this guy makes such fun and interactable videos, like the 2 truth 1 trash series. :D
I came here after seeing the mention in your short and wow, this is really interesting! Keep making interesting yet funny videos! ❤
Love this channel. Short, straight to the point yet funny and entertaining and informative. And you still include the calculations for those who are interested. Amazing!
Absolutely brilliant!!
Thank you!
I saw your your Short in my feed today and I already like your content...
I've been watching all your videos since morning....
Great explanation Sir..
Thanku for making this😂...
I remember seeing a video a while ago, it was about a village in my country where some clouds were just falling slowly onto the high mountains and people were just amazed. They were picking up some off the fallen pieces of clouds and everything felt so real.
Which country and village ?
Cloud bread
The fact that you can coherently explain all of this whilst also maintaining that talking speed is astounding
threw a baseball reference in there so i love u even more now
bonk
Especially since it's the Astros cheating
I learned about the water cycle and clouds watching the "Magic School Bus" when I was younger. 😁
I love these types of YT videos where you actually learn something worth learning.
Amazing video! I love watching your videos ! Your content is the perfect balance between something informative and something fun to watch , and that's why I love it!
I came from your ad on the oil droplet video.
This made me realize I never even asked the question which is so obvious now! I blindly agreed with everything that I had heard about rain.
And I call myself a science enthusiast. Damn
Thanks for this!
Great video keep it up i love seeing videos like this definitely earned my subscription. The video is short sweet and to the point but at the same time very informative! Great job
This is a great science channel! There’s far too many scam channels out there, especially on the shorts page, so it’s good to see people still care about true information
I came from the food coloring droplets short, this is a great video!! I will be watching more now, keep up the great content!
Me too
Thank you so much. I've been wanting to know this literally my whole life.
This is amazing!!! Keep it up, you just gain a new subscriber (at least one, who knows how many more!)
Great video! Helped me understand terminal velocity and more about the second law. Just a small recommendation tho, try turning up the volume of your voice to make it a bit easier to hear or enable automatic subtitles, just a small recommendation to make your videos a bit more accesible but it's fine. Thanks for the quality content.
Idk why but after binge watching your videos, when you said you'd be heart broken if I skipped ahead I finally busted out laughing
So great explanation and interesting topic that I've never even thought about
This is the ecplanation that i'm looking for.. thank you
Here as advertised by the food dye in oil short. 10/10 video, wish the thumbnail had more clickability
I learnt something new today thank you please keep uploading more content 👍👍👍👍.
Very cool video! Clouds always fascinated me as a kid
I'm glad I got here from that oil and food coloring video, this is actually pretty cool
Thanks for the informative video!
If tides are influenced by the Sun and the Moon, is there a tidal influence on the moisture in the atmosphere?
Very well made video, came from the short, subbed🤘
I came from the short you posted after you predicted my bowel movements. Awesome Video!
Finaly some good explanation! 👀❤️
I came to this video from the oil, food colouring and water video. Great video! I subscribed and liked.
DUDE THATS JUST WOW the terminal velocity of clouds makes me happy dang
I love this channel already
I came from your short and you're right - this was a good vid 👌
this reminds me of people vaping in the most random places, like the public restroom. I've always wondered why the smoke took so long before it clears out.
The spoon spin was smooth ngl
dude your so cool i am currently pursuing my dream of being a scientist and your a great example!
oh i never thought to ask this question, dope video! can you explain more regarding the updraft? does that mean there are only clouds where there is updraft?
The heat released during water condensation causes updraft, which I should have added to the video. I pinned a comment about this phenomenon. However, the air/water that rises from this heat (or from other air currents) eventually cools off. Then, there's no more updraft and we get into the falling droplet physics discussed in this video. Hope that helps!
@@JaDroppingScience clearer than my uni teachers 🥲 thanks a lot!
Thanks! This is my childhood question no teacher answered me!
The higher you go the colder it gets resulting in about 3 degrees F drop per thousand feet. Once vapor gets to a certain temp then water can condense out and begin to fall. Once it falls into the warmer altitudes it begins to evaporate into vapor again making it invisible. When the warmer updrafts move the air back up then it condenses out again. This keeps going until the cloud dissipates or the drops bump into enough other drops inside the updrafts of the cloud to form rain drops big enough to make it to the ground.
Im so high i.. i felt really bad when he said hed be heartbroken if i skipped, then opened up a can of math iaint never seen. Insane..
Great video! Saw you on tik tok so your ad worked lol
Furthermore, as droplets fall through the atmosphere, pressure increases and the air's capability to store water increases. The droplets therefore often evaporate to vapor again before reaching the ground, explaining why not every cloud results in rain.
This is also the reason to why clouds often have a flat underside: it's the point where the air pressure is high enough to store all available moisture present
I’ve always heard that the water droplets are “less dense” than the air and thus do not fall. That never made sense to me. This makes much more sense. Thank you!
yeah since the density changes with the temperature not the size
Great video
I've learned a lot about clouds in school but the whole "droplets are always falling" is new to me. Huh, TIL!
Please do more math videos ^w^
It was my favorites
I don't any words. I love it
Perfect "mixture" of comedy and science
Fantastic
There's also a phenomenon called a virga, where the terminal velocity exceeds the updraft velocity, therefore precipitation. Before reaching the ground, the droplets evaporate or sublimate. This is common where there is a steep lapse rate and dry air under the cloud base. In freezing conditions, they cam pose an icing risk to aircraft that fly through them.
Amazing science, thank you. Now please do something with the sound volume as it's way too low. Love these videos, thanks again!
Thank you
had to turn up my computer up to 100% to hear this guy
Actually fire
Bro u fr teach better than my teacher who had Year's of experience
I thought they were attached to strings
I'm crying
Thank you so much
The pro nerd. Keep da job Man!
really interesting but it actually rised more question than i had before XD
If i can't see water vapor... how come i can see the water vapor from a teapot or from a steam engine?
the steam from a boiling pan push upside water droplet also if the temperature is over 100°? how can the water still be in liquid form?
I'm not about to leave you heartbroken!
This deserves a like,follow,sub. And that's what I did.!!!
Side note.
We should all support smarts and stop chasing what's #trending
Clouds is just like fog in winter season..
Moisture in the air collected around the dust particles..
Bro’s on my middle school math learning website: DESMOS!!
Que dramatic music*
Clouds WORK. I know for a fact they work somehow, and I don’t actually need to understand how they work or how they float in the air. However this video is STILL COOL and educational. Thanks for sharing!
Well… your ad on that other video worked
Sound is so quiet that I expected a jumpscare
Neat!
what blew me away the most was when u said clouds can weigh millions of pounds! holy moly!
I said this to my family and they looked at me like a crazy person, I'm like I know how clouds are formed but I still don't FEEL like they should exist like that's literal tonnes of water just floating in the sky
The ad works
Bro why is this so quiet i had to put my ears to the speakers to hear it
Ofc the ad on the short got me here
I saw this bc of the video about the dye in the oil droplets
I didn’t understand what you were saying but u didn’t want to break your heart, so I didn’t skip
Nice
I came here from the advertisement on the TikTok video about food color in oil. Let's see if the effort was worth it 😜
me having zero clue what he's saying : "yeah seems about right"
If anybody wants a simplified understanding, It's basically because there's a vacuum in the atmosphere up there and therefore it can hold water in suspension up to a critical mass...
My video is paused so guessing now that the water vapour is less dense than the oxygen particles in the atmosphere but the condensed water vapour is also more dense than the gases in the ozone layer
If it wasn’t for air resistance, when it rains, the water would come down in one big sheet and crush everything
Maybe a more clickable title would just be "How do clouds float?" And the thumbnail says "They're not made of vapor" or something like that.
Just saw your yt shirt and came over
So will all the cloud fall down at some point in time!
"Just know I'll be heartbroken" don't worry I won't skip ahead
um hey man, notcied your not famous...
why
this is what scientists do in their free time
I don't need sleep, I need answers.
I successfully didn't understand any of that
But it's cool to watch 😂 😂
So why do they turn gray when it rains
I had my sound at MAX, and could barely hear. Just letting you know (also, kinda frustrated because i used to ask about this all the time as a kid, so i really wanted to understand, but literally couldn't hear enough to do so...
I came here since you called me out on sitting on the toilet when I was watching one of your shorts video
Me at 3:00 am after saying one last vid:
Im onlya grade 6 student and im only studying how the resperatory system work this much knowledge cant go in my brain
Another obscure but obvious fact is that clouds have a smell. The smell depends on the ground below and if the cloud forms over a pine forest it smell like pine. Over a freshly plowed field it smell like the field. Avoid the clouds over the sewage treatment plant.
volume is low
that's why there flowing clouds exist right? No updraft?
came here from the short video
Here from a historic advertising campaign
Full volume and is really quiet
