the water from the sea or ocean goes up the clouds then the water droplets grow.

Why do clouds form before rain?
Clouds form when water vapor condenses into tiny liquid droplets. If enough condensation occurs in a cloud then some of the droplets will grow bigger and fall as rain.
What factor in clouds control snowflake formation?
There isn't a factor in clouds that control snowflake formation.Wet snow: water droplets and ice crystals form. Ice crystals grow. Ice crystals combine and form snowflakes. Snowflakes begin to melt. Dry snow:water droplets and ice crystals form. Ice crystals grow. Ice crystals combine snowflakes. Snowflakes fall without melting.
How does the clouds make water?
Simple answer: They don't. Clouds ARE water - tiny, tiny droplets of water just like fog. If colder air moves into a cloud, it causes there to be even more water droplets forming. When the droplets get close enough together, they start touching and turning themselves into even larger droplets. Then the "even larger" water droplets touch, and make water drops . . . at some point in this process, the water droplets grow large enough that they are too heavy to stay where they are, and then they fall to the ground. This falling to the ground is what we call, "Rain".
What is the water cycel?
When the sun warms the sea, it turns it into vapour, this is called evaporation. The water vapour rises. As it rises it cools. The water vapour condenses into tiny water droplets. These form clouds. As the clouds are carried along by the wind, the droplets inside them grow into larger droplets. Leading to precipitation. The water drops fall as rain ( it might be: snow, hail or sleet). Some of the rain falls along the ground, and some soaks through it heading for the river. The river carries it back to the sea. The cycle is complete. And then it starts all over again...
For precipitation to form cloud droplets must grow in volume by roughly?
one million times

Where do the water vapors go when they rise up in the air?
Depending on weather conditions, it can stay in the air making it feel humid and muggy; it can form a fog close to the ground or it can form clouds higher in the sky and becomes rain or snow. Sometimes it condenses on the surface as dew or freezes on the surface as frost. Some remain as vapor, some condense out as water droplets, some freeze out as tiny ice crystals. When enough condenses out as water droplets within a certain space they form clouds. When the water droplets in the clouds merge and grow large enough they fall as rain. When enough freezes out as ice crystals within a certain space they form ice clouds (e.g. the high altitude cirrus clouds). etc.

How does precipitation eventually return to the oceans?
Precipitation. Continued cooling of the water vapor in the clouds causes water droplets to grow. Eventually, droplets join other droplets and form drops too heavy to stay in the clouds. The heavy droplets begin to fall as rain. The movement of raindrops from the atmosphere to the Earth is precipitation. Snow may form instead of raindrops if the water vapor condenses below the freezing point.Some areas lose more water to evaporation than they gain as precipitation. Other locations receive more precipitation than they lose to evaporation. Whatever the form of precipitation, water lost by evaporation over the entire surface of the Earth equals the amount of water falling as precipitation.
How do condensation and precipitation differ?
Condensation is the form of water droplets on a solid cooler than the air around it. Precipitation starts off with the condensation of water on smog and dust that goes up in the air to form a cloud. When too much water goes into a cloud water droplets {rain} fall down to the earth. Some droplets are frosted to form snow.

Is it true that cloud condenses when rain is formed?
No, clouds are little droplets of liquid water (or ice). Those small droplets or ice crystals grow together to become rain drops or snow or hail etc.
Does rain come from a sweating cloud?
No. Rain comes from clouds, but the clouds do not sweat. Clouds are made of water droplets, ice crystals, or a combination of the two. Rain falls when ice crystals grow inside a cloud, melt, and fall to the ground.
What are all the sources in the world?
The oceans and seas. The water vaporizes and high in the sky (where it's more cold) the little droplets grow (and the clouds form). Now, eventually, they get so heavy they start to fall, and that's when it's raining!
What does generally clouds mean?
Clouds form when water starts to condense, so clouds eventually grow until they rain themselves to death-clouds mean rain.
