} CLOUDS ! ~~
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 @ 10:14 PM

As what everyone is telling me, the eight main characteristics which classifies organism into living or non living things are, movement, excretion, respiration, irritabilty, growth, reproduction, adaptability and nutritions. Do people consider things that hanging above the sky, living or non-living things? I will use the characteristics above to debate if "Clouds" are considered as living things. In addition, not everything must have the eight main characteristics to be categorise as living thing.

Let me start the arguement now and prove to you that a non-livng thing, cloud can also behave like a living thing and categorise as a living thing. Before starting on the arguement on clouds, I will start it by stating the fact.

[Facts about CLOUDS]
Everyone knows that clouds are formed by evaporating the water from the land or the sea into water vapour. After that, they will condense and become tiny water droplets. When a billion of tiny water droplets are surrounded, they will become visible as clouds. The reason why the colour of the clouds is because they tend to deflect light efficiently, so that the intensity of the solar radiation will decrease, therefore, it will appear white in colour. In the other hand, when the clouds appear in black in colour, it absorbs the light and the solar radiation will increase due to the large spaces causes between the droplets. This causes the clouds to appear in black colour.

[Movement]
As what I have said, clouds are form by billions of tiny water droplets and because liquid is a form of matter, therefore, it has mass. When there are strong currents of wind blowing at the clouds, they will move towards the direction where the wind is blowing. Although clouds do not move by itself, with a help of the strong currents of wind, they able to move around. This is the meaning of movement for clouds!
 
[Excretion]
Clouds do excrete too. Unlike human, we used to discharge our waste out from our body as faeces. For clouds, tiny water droplets are gathered together and when they get heavier, it will fall as rain down to the ground again. From this, the water cycle we are familiar with will keep on repeating. The process of precipitation is therefore known as "excretion".
 
[Growth]
When humans ingest food, it will break down into smaller pieces in order to give us energy that enable to develop and grow bigger in size. The logic is the same for the clouds. As more water vapour is condensed into water droplets and surround to become a cloud, it will literally grow bigger in size. Therefore, all clouds are not of the same size.
 
[Adaptability]
Like what everybody is talking about, weather is unpredictable. It will rain or shine unpredictably, and therefore, living things have to adapt to unstable environment. Like human, clouds also have the ability to adapt to surrounding. They will either expose to the hot sun or facing a drop of surrounding temperature.
 
[Nutritions]
Living things need take in nutrients from variety of food in order to survive. It is important take in sufficient amount of nutrients to maintain a healthy diet. For clouds, the only nutrients to take in is water vapour. Interestingly, clouds take in "nutrients" which is water vapours in order to grow larger. In human's digestive system, the organs in our body is given different duties to obtain energy. In clouds, their processes to change the state of matter is their "organs", they condense water vapours into water droplets and obtain the "energy" to make grow larger. 
 
In conclusion, I feels that CLOUDS are the LIVING THINGS ! ! :D
 

BEAUTIFUL CLOUDS !
