Dust clouds
Dust clouds are large, diffuse groups of tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere or space. They can form from natural sources like soil, pollen, and volcanic ash, or from human activities such as mining and construction. In space, dust clouds, also called nebulae, consist of gas and dust particles that can give clues about star formation. These clouds play a role in weather patterns, air quality, and astronomical phenomena. Despite their small size individually, collectively, dust particles can influence climate, visibility, and planetary environments.
