Abstract
This report brings about the various phases involved in cloud seeding which means creating or hailing rain with the help of artificial agents. Various methodologies involved in cloud seeding along with their consequences has been discussed. Also, a little introduction of various types of clouds has been discovered.Since, 1839, when for the first time James P Espy proposed that it is possible to create rain artificially by the use of huge convective currents causing various particles to reach the upper portion of atmosphere; cloud seeding has been the area of interest for various scientists. Since then, time to time, cloud seeding has suffered various reforms and new methods and particles were introduced.This report is focused on the use of sugar as CCN and has been tried to prove the hygroscopic nature of sugar. Sugar can be easily used as condensing particles as it has got almost no side effects when inhaled in a very little amount. Traditional Schaeffer’s method has been followed which involves the bringing up of the cabinet of a refrigerator below freezing point of water and dispersing the test specimen to check whether the test specimen can act as a seeding agent or not and what was the actual seeding time required by the particle.
