Clouds contain a complex mixture of chemicals, with water being the primary component. However, it also includes various other substances.
According to research, the chemical composition of cloud water includes:
- Water-soluble ions
- Dissolved organic matter (DOM)
- Carbonyl compounds (such as aldehydes and acetone)
- Carboxylic acids
- Trace metals
Therefore, while water is the most abundant chemical in clouds, they also contain a range of other substances in smaller quantities.
