Delhi Cloud Seeding Experiment Fails to Clear Air Pollution

Imagine clouds are like sponges that can hold water.

Normally, when the water in the sponge gets heavy enough, it falls as rain.

Cloud seeding is like squeezing the sponge by adding special tiny particles, like salt, to help the water droplets inside the cloud get heavier faster so they fall as rain.

The government in Delhi tried this to wash away air pollution.

However, the clouds in Delhi didn't have enough water vapor, or 'wetness,' for the special particles to work effectively.

It's like trying to squeeze a dry sponge – not much water comes out.

So, the experiment didn't bring much rain and therefore didn't clear the pollution for long.

Experts say this is only a temporary fix and doesn't solve the main problem of why the air is dirty in the first place.
