It involves dispersing substances into the air that act as nuclei (such as silver iodide). It provides a crystal around which moisture can condense, stimulate precipitation, and form rain.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>Cloud seeding involves planes spraying chemicals into clouds in order to condense smaller particles into larger raindrops. It increases annual rainfall rates by about 10% to 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>So far, experts have discovered no negative effects of silver iodide cloud seeding on the environment. However, silver iodide is toxic to aquatic life.
