aerosols and cloud formation
Aerosols are tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, often originating from natural sources like dust and sea salt, or human activities like pollution. They play a crucial role in cloud formation by acting as cloud condensation and ice nuclei, allowing water vapor in the air to condense and form clouds.
