His skill, understanding and his gentle, loving heart have parted the clouds for countless troubled creatures.

Literally this very second the clouds have parted, there's a rainbow-isn't that incredible!

" Panthea then describes how the two melodies are parted, and Ione interrupts by describing a beautiful chariot with a winged infant whose " two eyes are heavens / Of liquid darkness, which the Deity / Within seems pouring, as a storm is poured / From jagged clouds " and " in its hand / It sways a quivering moon-beam ".

O ' odham songs are accompanied by hard wood rasps and drumming on overturned baskets, both of which lack resonance and are " swallowed by the desert floor ", while dancing features skipping and shuffling quietly in bare feet on dry dirt, the dust raised being believed to rise to atmosphere and assist in forming rain clouds.

MacLeod designs an energy shield to protect the Earth after its ozone layer began to disintegrate, but the Shield's heavy red clouds and blocking of natural sunlight have plunged mankind into despair.

Although the mountains tend to collect clouds and block sunlight ( reducing some narrow valleys at certain times of year to no more than three or four hours of sunlight per day ), the country is generally sunny, receiving as much as 2, 900 hours of sunlight per year in some areas.

During sunrise and sunset sunlight is attenuated due to Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering from a particularly long passage through Earth's atmosphere, and the Sun is sometimes faint enough to be viewed comfortably with the naked eye or safely with optics ( provided there is no risk of bright sunlight suddenly appearing through a break between clouds ).

There is no night in free space, and no clouds or atmosphere to block sunlight.

When they are thin and translucent, the clouds efficiently absorb outgoing infrared radiation while only marginally reflecting the incoming sunlight.

When cirrus clouds are thick, they reflect only around 9 % of the incoming sunlight, but they prevent almost 50 % of the outgoing infrared radiation from escaping, thus raising the temperature of the atmosphere beneath the clouds by an average of 10 ° C ( 18 ° F )— a process known as the greenhouse effect.

Within the troposphere, red, orange, and pink clouds occur almost entirely at sunrise / sunset and are the result of the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere.

The clouds do not become that color ; they are reflecting long and unscattered rays of sunlight, which are predominant at those hours.

Seen from below, clouds emit infrared radiation back to the surface, and so exert a warming effect ; seen from above, clouds reflect sunlight and emit infrared radiation to space, and so exert a cooling effect .< ref name = hartmann-1997 > Cloud representations vary among global climate models, and small changes in cloud cover have a large impact on the climate.

This is characterized by persistent mist or clouds at the vegetation level, resulting in the reduction of direct sunlight and thus of evapotranspiration.

These clouds would then reflect the sunlight, creating a positive impact on climate mitigation.

The high altitude clouds serve to reflect strongly-reddened sunlight still striking the stratosphere after sunset, down to the surface.

Far away clouds or snowy mountaintops will seem yellow as well ; that effect is not obvious on clear days, but very pronounced when clouds are covering the line of sight reducing the blue hue from scattered sunlight.

The intensity ranges ( roughly ) from of direct sunlight for relatively thin clouds down to of direct sunlight under the extreme of thickest storm clouds.

The clouds reflect sunlight, allowing the forest to regulate its temperature.

* High velocity clouds, clouds of neutral hydrogen are " raining " down on the galaxy, and presumably have been from the beginning ( this would be the necessary source of a gas disk from which the disk stars formed ).

To narrow down the origin of these clouds, a better understanding of their distances and metallicity is needed.

According to Rashi, the ladder signified the exiles that the Jewish people would suffer before the coming of the Jewish Messiah: the angels that represented the exiles of Babylonia, Persia, and Greece each climbed up a certain number of steps, paralleling the years of the exile, before they " fell down "; but the angel representing the last exile, that of Rome or Edom, kept climbing higher and higher into the clouds.

Whereas previously it was hazardous to guess if there would be a storm or little activity, the predictions of Asher and McNaught timed bursts in activity down to ten minutes by narrowing down the clouds of particles to individual streams from each passage of the comet, and their trajectories amended by subsequent passage near planets.

Roger Ebert instantly praised it as one of the greatest films he ’ d ever seen, claiming: " Taxi Driver " is a hell, from the opening shot of a cab emerging from stygian clouds of steam to the climactic killing scene in which the camera finally looks straight down.

Tracy was prone to bouts of depression and anxiety: he was described by Mrs. Tracy as having " the most volatile disposition I've ever seen — up in the clouds one minute and down in the depths the next.

A prediction of this hypothesis is that the cirrus would move higher as the temperatures rose, increasing the volume of air underneath the clouds and the amount of infrared radiation reflected back down to earth.

Scientists fired ultra-fast pulses from an extremely powerful laser thus sending several terawatts into the clouds to call down electrical discharges in storm clouds over the region.

The clouds are in an inverted arc, much like the official die, but the rays of the glory extend down beyond the clouds and in back of the eagle.

Trees in cloud forests collect the liquid water in fog or low clouds onto their surface, which drips down to the ground.

This mighty elephant reaches down his trunk into the watery underworld, sucks up its water, and then sprays it into the clouds, which Indra then causes to rain forth cool water, thereby linking the waters of the sky with those of the underworld.

The Skibotn valley has a microclimate with very little clouds by Norwegian standards, and annual precipitation down to 300 – 450 mm.

Winds coming from the Atlantic Ocean, on the other hand, are pressed down by hot air from the east ; their humidity thus forms clouds and fog.

It was nothing more than a tiny distant rain squall, a dull gray sheet which reached from a layer of clouds to the earth.

As the new clouds of radioactive fallout spread silently and invisibly around the earth, the Soviet Union stands guilty of a monstrous crime against the human race.

" Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

The city will be taken, the houses looted, and the women raped … Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations … Thus the Lord my God will come, and all the saints with you .” 14: 2-5 In Matthew, Jesus says, " The sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

The offing was barred by a black bank of clouds, and the tranquil waterway leading to the uttermost ends of the earth flowed sombre under an overcast sky — seemed to lead into the heart of an immense darkness.

The fact that they were found indicates that these chemical reactions in interstellar clouds take place faster than suspected, likely in gas-phase reactions unfamiliar to organic chemistry as observed on earth.

" Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

His younger contemporary, Anaximenes ( 585-525 BCE ), took for his principle air ( aether ), conceiving it as modified, by thickening and thinning, into fire, wind, clouds, water, and earth.

This helps explain Yahweh's attributes as a storm god ( he comes to rescue Israel surrounded by darkness and thick clouds, and the earth trembles, the clouds drop water, and the mountains quake at his appearance ), and the way he appropriates attributes from the rival storm god Baal.

Before the lightning strikes earth, the filaments lead electricity through the clouds, playing the role of lightning rods.

Lightning is a similar principle where the atmosphere is ionized by the high potential difference ( voltage ) between earth and storm clouds.

The three-axis, body-stabilized spacecraft design enables the sensors to " stare " at the earth and thus more frequently image clouds, monitor earth's surface temperature and water vapour fields, and sound the atmosphere for its vertical thermal and vapor structures.

Oggie climbs a magic beanstalk to escape the fools of earth and there in the clouds falls in love with a giant, silly, sexy girl named Guntra who wants only to devour the frog.

Part 2, Section 5, of The Book of Healing, contains his essay on mineralogy and meteorology, in six chapters: formation of mountains ; the advantages of mountains in the formation of clouds ; sources of water ; origin of earthquakes ; formation of minerals ; and the diversity of earth ’ s terrain.

For example, the Inuit are said to believe in spirits of the sea, earth and sky, the winds, the clouds and everything in nature.

He has human characteristics, and although some say that He lives in the sky or in the clouds, Gĩkũyũ lore also says that he comes to earth from time to time to inspect it, bestow blessings and mete out punishment ( similar to God's visit of Abraham before destroying Sodom ).

In the standard cosmology, clouds of neutral hydrogen between the quasar and the earth create Lyman alpha absorption lines having different redshifts up to that of the quasar itself ; this feature is called the Lyman-alpha forest.

* c. 80 AD-In his Lunheng ( 論衡 ; Critical Essays ), the Han Dynasty Chinese philosopher Wang Chong ( 27-97 AD ) dispels the Chinese myth of rain coming from the heavens, and states that rain is evaporated from water on the earth into the air and forms clouds, stating that clouds condense into rain and also form dew, and says when the clothes of people in high mountains are moistened, this is because of the air-suspended rain water.

( Alternatively, the Goddess forced the fairy back to her former duty of weaving colorful clouds, a task she neglected while living on earth with a mortal.

Mushroom clouds are formed by many sorts of large explosions under earth gravity, though they are best known for their appearance after nuclear detonations.

Detonations significantly below ground level or deep below the water ( for instance, nuclear depth charges ) also do not produce mushroom clouds, as the explosion causes the vaporization of a huge amount of earth and water in these instances.
