Answer 1

Dust particles or “lithometeors” play a significant role in weather too. A high concentration of dust plays a vital role in aviation visibility restrictions, especially in middle eastern countries. They can combine with water vapor to cause dense haze or fog in some coastal regions.

They can do the same thing and combine with water vapor in the atmosphere to form a CCN (cloud condensation nuclei), which aids in cloud formation. An example of this would be thunderstorms around large forest fires. The rising heat from the fire causes an unstable atmosphere, and all the added lithometeors from the fire combined with the existing water vapor in the air to create clouds and even thunderstorms.
