cloud seeding

Cloud seeding is a way of making it rain or snow more. It works by shooting things into the cloud. The things that are shot into the clouds are silver iodide, dry ice, and salt. When those things are shot into the clouds, it makes the clouds colder and wetter. This makes it so the clouds can hold more water, so it rains or snows more.
