How is rain made?

Kimmy is fascinated with this information. Oh no, is she turning into her sister who googles her life away? She finds an interesting article and begins to read it to Yeti.

‘Clouds form from water or ice that has evaporated from Earth’s surface, or from plants that give off water and oxygen as a product of photosynthesis. When it evaporates—that is, rises from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere—water is in the form of a gas, water vapor. Water vapor turns into clouds when it cools and condenses—that is, turns back into liquid water or ice. In order to condense, the water vapor must have a solid to glom onto. This solid “seed” may be a speck of dust or pollen, or a drop of water or crystal of ice. Dew is water vapor that has condensed back onto Earth’s surface—on grass or a car’s windshield, for example. 

In the cloud, with more water condensing onto other water droplets, the droplets grow. When they get too heavy to stay suspended in the cloud, even with updrafts within the cloud, they fall to Earth as rain. If the air in the cloud is below the freezing point (32 °F or 0 °C), ice crystals form; if the air all the way down to the ground is also freezing or below, you get snow. However, if the layers of atmosphere within the cloud, and between the cloud and the ground, alternate between warmer than freezing and colder than freezing, you get other kinds of precipitation.’ (Source) 

Yeti is enjoying his hot chocolate and now he decides that he would like to have a piece of that yummy chocolate cake so he waves to the waitress. Kimmy wonders if she is reading it just to give her some knowledge and background on this because Yeti seems to be distracted with the thought of eating. 

“Go on and read some more,” says Yeti. “I am listening to what you are reading. I just saw that cake and knew that I wouldn’t be happy unless I had a piece. Please continue reading.”
