   How do clouds form?

   • Clouds appear when there is too much water vapour for the air to hold. The water vapour (gas) then condenses to form tiny water droplets (liquid), and it is the water that makes the cloud visible. These droplets are so small that they stay suspended in the air.

   How does water and ice make up clouds?

   • As air rises it cools and decreases pressure, spreading out. Clouds form when the air cools below the dewpoint, and the air can not hold as much water vapor. Clouds are made of water droplets or ice crystals that are so small and light they are able to stay up in the air. But how does the water and ice that makes up clouds get into the sky?

   Why do clouds appear in the air?

   • Other times, the air has less water vapour and it feels drier and fresher. Clouds appear when there is too much water vapour for the air to hold. The water vapour (gas) then condenses to form tiny water droplets (liquid), and it is the water that makes the cloud visible. These droplets are so small that they stay suspended in the air.

   Why do clouds form when more water vapour is added?

   • There is also the fact that a cloud can form when more water vapour has been added to the air, for example if it has passed over a lake, it can pick up moisture. There is then more water vapour in that air and it condenses to form the cloud.

   How do water molecules form cloud droplets?

   • However, water molecules on their own are too small to bond together in the formation of cloud droplets. They need a "flatter" surface, an object with a radius of at least one micrometer (one millionth of a meter) on which they can condense. Those objects are called cloud condensation nuclei.

   Are clouds made of water vapour?

   • Many people believe that clouds are just made of water vapour (a gas). However, this is not strictly true. Water vapour is invisible, and it is around us all the time in the air. Sometimes there is more water vapour in the air and it feels humid or muggy. Other times, the air has less water vapour and it feels drier and fresher.

   Sep 25, 2024 · Clouds are created when water vapor, an invisible gas, turns into liquid water droplets. These water droplets form on tiny particles, like dust, that are floating in the air. A camera on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image of clouds over the Southern Indian Ocean.

   There are two ingredients needed for clouds to form: water and nuclei. Clouds. Nuclei. Water is always present in Earth’s atmosphere in some form. However, water molecules on their own are too small to bond together in the formation of cloud droplets.

    The process of cloud formation relies on several factors, including the rate of vaporization of water at Earth's surface, the temperature of the air at the surface, and the holding capacity of a rising parcel of air.
