Video Description:
Have you ever noticed that many clouds seem to have perfectly flat bottoms? It may look like someone sliced them across the sky, but there’s actually a fascinating scientific reason behind it.
In this episode of History of Simple Things, we explore how rising warm air, cooling temperatures, and an invisible atmospheric boundary determine where clouds begin to form. That smooth underside is the point where water vapor finally condenses into tiny droplets, making the cloud visible.

This was very interesting. Really fascinating. I'm going to have to watch it a few times to make sure I fully understand it. I do skydive. And on several occasions, I had the chance to fall through clouds. What a thrilling experience. That temp dropped 20 degrees or more. Couldn't see a thing until I came out of it. Obviously, I never fully understood what I was falling through.
I am constantly learning with these, thank to you, Mel. I do appreciate it. I've been watching these on YouTube as well since you started posting them here.
