Why did it rain after they jumped on a cloud? - Water Dew on Glass

During a scene in Puss in Boots (2011), Puss and Kitty jump onto a cloud where Humpty jumped a moment earlier, and some rain falls from the cloud. Why does that happen? Is it to make it more "realistic"? Or is it a joke that I missed?



Best Answer

No, hitting, jumping, or punching a cloud does not make rain fall out. Air planes go thru clouds all the time without rain happening. It's a visual gag, a joke in a cartoon movie for the sake of a joke.

Would you get wet if you went through a cloud?

But spread that weight out over cubic miles and you wouldn't even think a cloud was heavy. If you were to stroll a few meters through an average cloud, walking on could nine, as it were; you would only encounter a few grams of water.

What happens if you jump into a cloud?

So, what happens if you skydive through a cloud? Well, it could be that nothing happens, or the consequences could be catastrophic. As you probably recall from middle school science, in essence, clouds are condensed water vapor, much like fog. Analogously to fog, within a cloud, visibility is significantly reduced.

Has anyone fallen through a cloud?

Lieutenant Colonel William Rankin served as a pilot with the US Marine Corps and was a World War II and Korean War veteran. But he is best remembered as being the only known person in the world to survive falling into and all the way through a cumulonimbus storm cloud to the ground.

Does it hurt to fall through a cloud?

Skydiving through rain can be painful because you're falling at terminal velocity, so the rain is driven into your face at up to 200km/h. In a thundercloud, your chances of being hit by lightning are higher than on the ground because your wet body presents a more conductive path than the air around you.



I caught a cloud on my paraglider ... and took it home!
