What is a cloud and how is it formed?
Clouds are condensed particles of moisture in the air. Basically, they are formed when water droplets evaporate are are pushed into the air by a mountain until they get to a certain point (called the condensation point) where the air temperature drops and they condense to form clouds.
Why do clouds form as warm air rises and not at lower altitudes?
Condensation by warm air
How clouds form in the sky?
well you need to have three important items for clouds to form. 1- moisture so the water can form the cloud. 2- cooling air so that the water vapor can be condenced. 3- condensation Nuclei or also known as dust. the dust will gather the water vapor in the air, without it clouds can not form.
Layered clouds are formed when air moves?
up?
Why do clouds form as the air rises?
As air rises it becomes decompressed, which causes it to cool. This cooling can cause water vapor to condense, forming clouds.
Meteorologists predict the condensation level and how tall clouds will grow by considering?
The cooling rate of rising air
When condensation occurs at the same elevation at which air stops rising?
stratus clouds are formed.

Other than clouds how else do we see condensation?
Clouds, which are formed by the condensation of water droplets on fine dust particles higher up in the atmosphere. Fog is also a condensation of water vapor in the air closer to the ground.
When does the process of condensation take place?
Heat radiation causes water vapour from lakes and oceans to go up into the clouds. When the clouds form it is condensation. Or... The clouds get so heavy, that it moves to another area and makes flurries, snow, or rain:)
Is condensation the same as cooling?
No it is not. Condensation does occur on the evaporator in an air conditioning system.
Do clouds form better in dry or moist air?
Moist air. Clouds are condensation from water vapor.
What is the third scientific principle that is essentail to cloud formation?
The third principle is: Hot air rises. This allows moisture in the air to condense when it hits colder air, making clouds.
Is air pressure formed by condensation?
no
What is the process of clouds forming when water vapor in the air becomes liquid water?
condensation (the water vapor condenses onto the small dust particles in the air creating clouds)
Are clouds produced from condensation?
Yes, as the warm air rises, it cools, condenses and then forms clouds.
Why do clouds form as warm air rises and not at lower altitudes?
Condensation by warm air
