What Is Cloud Seeding?

Cloud seeding is a process that encourages tiny cloud droplets that are not coming together to come together and fall as snow or rain.

Dry ice or silver iodide is put into the clouds by aircraft flying either above or through them. This causes the formation and growth of ice crystals and they grow big enough to start falling. In warm weather the ice crystals melt and fall as rain.
