Why are rain clouds dark?

Before it rains, dark clouds roll in. Why are they dark?

What is the difference between Fluarix and Flulaval vaccines?

Posted: 10 Sep 2020 06:05 AM PDT

Looking quickly at them, both are made by GSK and seem to be the same quad formula. What are the differences and/or anyone know why they are branded differently? Thanks!

How does a landlocked state develop CAT 3 winds and why is there no name for this type of storm?

Posted: 09 Sep 2020 07:16 AM PDT

Utah just had winds over 100 mph the last few days and it's never happened here previously.

Why does the Moon's gravity cause tides on earth but the Sun's gravity doesn't?

Could the Earth and Moon be considered a binary planetary system?

Posted: 09 Sep 2020 04:49 PM PDT

I've done a little bit of research, and I've learned that if a systems barycenter is outside a planet, its sattelite gets promoted to planetary status. Pluto is smaller than the Moon, and it's theres a dwarf planet. There has been talk that Ceres can be a planet. So if the moon can't be a planet, it coud atleast be a dwarf planet, right?

Are asymptomatic carriers completely immune to that disease? And can they show symptoms if certain conditions are met in the long run?

If CO2 can be artificially sequestered, why is global warming still such an important issue?

Do western states participate in controlled/prescribed burns?

Posted: 09 Sep 2020 06:44 AM PDT

Howdy folks,

I live in North Florida but always see news about huge wildfires in California, Arizona, Colorado, etc. every couple years. My impression is that wildfires are super uncommon in my home state, and controlled burns are common in large tracts of land like wildlife management areas. I understand the importance of controlled burns on Florida ecology, and that controlled burns clear out any vegetation debris that has built up over a couple years, so if there was a wildfire it wouldn't spread as violently. I'm wondering, does California (or other western states where wildfires are frequent) conduct controlled burns, and if they do, why can fires there spread to huge areas?

Will we eventually run out of radioactive materials/Isotopes?

Posted: 09 Sep 2020 01:37 PM PDT

Since all the radioactive substances will eventually become stable, even if it takes billions and billions of years, would the universe theoretically run out at some point in time?

If a piecewise function is continuous and smooth, is there an analytical function that equals the piecewise function everywhere?

Posted: 09 Sep 2020 06:45 AM PDT

Example: Here is a simple piecewise function that is continuous and smooth where the pieces meet. Overlaid in dotted blue is a logistic function that approximates the piecewise function. Is there an analytical function that exactly equals the piecewise function everywhere? Closed analytical functions are preferable to the limits of infinite series.

The gravity on ISS is much stronger then mars gravity correct?

Posted: 09 Sep 2020 09:50 PM PDT

I keep reading posts on Reddit, armchair scientists saying how we've only tested living in 0g with 1000 word essays filled with jargon on why they're right. But, they seem to have forgotten the effect earth has on the ISS? I'm trying to find as much information as I can on workarounds to living on mars due to gravity, it's hard to find a lot for me seeing as I don't know where to look. Am I correct about the ISS having relatively a lot more gravity compared to mars? That the effects on organs would be maybe much worse on mars? You have astronauts damaging their vision after a year only 250 miles away from Earth. I do not see how mars is at all feasible.

Would Wildfires like we see in California exist without humans starting them?

Posted: 09 Sep 2020 02:54 PM PDT

The wildfires in California get worse every year due to climate change, that I understand.

Every news story about the fires I see explains that they were started by a careless human doing something they shouldn't have during the dry season.

Without humans doing careless things with fires, would there still be this many, widespread fires?
