What happens when you have smoke bits and water in the sky at the same time? We use flying things and computers to find out
Abstract:
I should probably back up and explain why do we care about sky water and smoke. We care about smoke in the sky because when the smoke gets together with the sky water (which you can't see), that makes white sky water, which you CAN see. It’s good to know about white sky water because a lot of times it makes rain in some places, and also it can make the ground cool because the white sky water is very white. (Some types of white sky water can even make the ground warmer, but that’s with a different type of light.) If you have more or less or different smoke, then the white sky water will look different too. Even when there’s no white sky water, the smoke and the sky water (which you can't see) gets in the way of the sun light (the light you can see and the light you can't see) to make the sky hot or cold, so that can also change the white sky water and other things about the sky too. So it's really important for us to know more about the sky water and smoke together so that we can understand the white sky water, and the sky, and the land and the big ground water too.
