-) Cloud Seeding is -highly contested- technique were an aircraft sprays a chemical such as Dry Ice (CO2) or silver iodine to accelerate the formation of clouds and promote precipitation. A) explain how these chemicals could accelerate the formation of clouds and B) when the clouds form, is the air around them going to be cooler or warmer after the clouds formed and why?

Question 5
### Educational Content on Nuclear Power and Cloud Seeding 3) **Enter a car parked in the sun on a hot summer day**: Is it hotter than any other object receiving the same sun? How is this similar to global warming? 4) **Nuclear Power Plants**: These facilities don't burn fuel but have large towers emitting water vapor. The generation cycle includes four basic steps: - **Pumping**: Increases the pressure of a fluid. - **Boiling**: Involves heating up the fluid using heat from the nuclear reaction. - **Turbine**: Utilizes energy from the high-temperature and pressure fluid to produce work/electricity. - **Cooling**: The fluid is cooled down to be pumped again. **Question**: Which of these four stages—Pumping, Boiling, Turbine, or Cooling—do you think the tower is part of and why? 5) **Cloud Seeding**: This is a highly contested technique where an aircraft sprays chemicals like Dry Ice (CO2) or silver iodide to speed up cloud formation and promote precipitation. - **A)** Explain how these chemicals could accelerate cloud formation. - **B)** When clouds form, is the air around them cooler or warmer, and why? #### Diagram Description The image includes two pictures of nuclear power plants with cooling towers emitting vapor, typical illustrations in discussions about the cooling stage in power generation processes.

Expert Solution
Part 1

Chemical like silver iodine work  like it attracts the water droplets around and within  the cloud , which leads to high accumulation in clouds  due to this high concentration,  rain happens .
