What is cloud seeding and how does it work? In this video, we explain cloud seeding in simple words — from how rain forms naturally to how scientists use silver iodide and salt particles to trigger artificial rainfall. Learn about the different types of cloud seeding, which countries use it, and whether it actually works.
Whether you're a student, a weather enthusiast, or curious about the science behind making it rain, this beginner-friendly animated explainer breaks down one of the most fascinating weather modification techniques.
