Dans l'atmosphère, nous retrouvons aussi plein de petites particules, soit du sel, près des mers, du sable ou encore des poussières provenant des usines de grandes villes. Elles mesurent entre 0,05 et 50 microns. [...] Ces particules microscopiques sont essentielles à la création des nuages car elles enclenchent le processus de condensation. Elles sont classées en trois groupes: les noyaux de congélation, les noyaux de condensation des nuages et les noyaux de condensation. Elles peuvent être appelées plus communément amorces. [...] noyaux de condensation des nuages : Ce peut être du sel, de la fumée d'incendie de forêt, de l'argile sous fine poussière, deux noyaux de condensation qui s'entrechoquent, etc. Elles permettent, comme leur nom l'indique, la condensation des nuages. 3, record 1, French, - noyau%20de%20condensation%20des%20nuages
