What does the term nimbus indicate in cloud names?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Relation with rain or precipitation

Correct answer: B, relation with rain or precipitation. In cloud terminology, “nimbus” or “nimbo-” indicates a cloud capable of producing precipitation. Moist air condenses into cloud particles, and when these particles become sufficiently large, rain, snow, or another form of precipitation may fall. Nimbostratus usually produces widespread, fairly continuous precipitation, while cumulonimbus can produce heavy showers and thunderstorms. A is wrong because nimbus clouds are not signs of dry, clear weather. C is wrong because nimbus does not mean only a high ice cloud; the cloud may contain liquid water, ice, or both. D is wrong because ground dust is not the meaning of nimbus. Memory cue: “Nimbus means precipitation”; connect it with nimbostratus and cumulonimbus.
