Horizons Water World

ALL Water world appeared to have cloudlike formations.Are they perhaps seeded via meteoritic framgentation? Otherwise being ablöe to form clouds without particular aerosol is extremely rare. Can anyone with greater meteorological expertise clarify on this?
 
Not all, here are 3 examples that don't have cloud like formations, just polar ice:

Those images appear very small. However, the cloudlike formations certainly appear present, most visibly on the central image at least.If you could provide furtther details regarding the first and 3rd world to check in more detail.
 
Well just go out exploring and you'll find them. I'm currently ending my 2nd long range exploration trip so probably won't be seeing much more water worlds so probably won't get any larger photos...
 
Condensation cores can be the result of a variety of compounds in the atmosphere. For example, traces of ammonia can react to form particulate which is a bit of an issue in agricultural areas if you're on the fine dust hype train.
 
I`ve seen many cloudless waterworlds while exploring.

But I guess one can determine the chances of clouds by reading in information a detailed surface scan gives. The composition of the atmosphere might give hints about chemical reactions that may happen and will form condensation cores. If there is any form of life reported the lifeforms themselves may produce chemicals that act as condensation cores.

I am with Khaos526: just fly into the void and find out yourself :D

Here's the 2nd and 3rd version I posted above. I haven't found the 3rd one yet as I'm heading into the bubble, but these two the only cloud like thing you might mistake for clouds is the star glare off the planet's water or the polar ice caps, but there are no clouds in either of these 2 versions and I don't think there are any in the first one above either...
