Netizens Amazed: Cap cloud rotating over mountain

The finest things in life, they say, are free. You’ll believe the same thing after one good glance at a gorgeous glimpse of Mother Nature. It has mesmerised us once again with an intriguing cap cloud whirling above a mountain.

A lenticular cloud, also known as a cap cloud, can be seen circling over a snow-capped mountain’s top in this weird yet gorgeous video. Like a sluggish upside-down tornado, the cloud built a triangular hat-like formation around the mountain and kept moving around in the same location. The vista was really stunning.

The video was published on Twitter a day ago by the account ‘Amazing Nature,’ and it has over 233k views.

Below is the link to the video:

What is lenticular cloud, and how does it work?

When moisture levels in the upper atmosphere begin to rise, lenticular clouds develop above mountain tops. Because they are related with waves in the sky, lenticular clouds are also known as standing wave clouds. These form when fast-moving air over a physical impediment, such as a mountain range or a volcano, is propelled up over it.
