CLOUDS APPEAR WHITE, WHY?

Cloud appears white due to the phenomena of scattering of white light. The water particles in the cloud are big in size as compared to air molecules and wavelength of light. Hence all the colours get scattered in equal intensity and mixture of all colours gives white light. This white light reaches our eyes giving the impression that colour of a cloud is white.

UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION

In uniform circular motion,  1. Speed is constant. 2. Velocity is variable and acts along tangential direction  at a point. 3. Centripetal Force and acceleration act along the radius towards the centre if the circular path.  4. Centrifugal force appears to  act radially outwards. It is a virtual  ,fictitious force, not a real force.
