How does a cloud hold water?

i think that clouds hold their water by saturation. so when the
water gets more heavy then the cloud the water turns into
droplets(rain). i know that this is not the best answer but at
least i tried.

How long can a cloud hold water?
it depends how much water there is in it and how sunny it is. If
it is sunny the sea water will evaporate and form a cloud.
Asked in Rain and Flooding, Clouds, Earth Sciences
How many raindrops does your average storm cloud hold?
Your average storm cloud does not hold any rain drops. It
contains water vapor. Once the vapor forms a rain drop, the cloud
can no longer hold it and it falls out of the cloud.

What contains water in what part of the cloud which state of matter?
condencation and precipitation clouds hold the water and they
are water
Asked in Clouds
What if the cloud is so big and never bring down the water?
It may become a cumulunimbus cloud and rain as long as it can
hold it.
Asked in Clouds
If the cloud is higher can it hold more water vaper?
No, if the cloud is lower it is most likely to contain more
water vapor. Hint: look at rain clouds they are usually closer to
the surface of the earth.

How does the water cycle cause weather?
the water cycle causes weather because when water evaporates,
the amount of water determines how thick the clouds are and how
much precipitation the cloud can hold. when the cloud can no longer
hold and more precipitation, it poors out causing it to rain.
depending on how cold or strong the precipitation is determines
whether it rains, sleets, snows, or hails.

How does water or snow come out of a cloud?

Asked in Meteorology and Weather
What determines the dew point temperature?
dew point is basically is the temperature when the air cant hold
anymore water so the vapor changes to water. so how much water the
air or cloud can hold determines it. i hope that makes sense to u.

How do you make a cloud?
First thing to do is to get a cup and pour water . Then light up
fire and put it inside the glass and then get a bag of ice before
the gas comes out. Next get the Bag of ice and put it on top of the
glass and hold the water vapor and the a cloud will appear in the
glass so good luck making your cloud.
Asked in Meteorology and Weather, Clouds
Why are some clouds darker?
Some clouds are darker because they are rain clouds. After the
air condenses to its dew point, the water vapor that is no longer
needed will form a liquid form of water, which in this case would
be a cloud. The cloud would be full of water. When it can no longer
hold the water, it starts to rain.
The cloud is white when the sun shines on it. It becomes dark
when the sky is dark, and then the thunder and rain comes.

How do nimbo stratus clouds form?
I may not know much about it,but I think they form when a cloud
gets too heavy to hold water vapor ,so it gets hot and sink,that is
why we have fog,which is a nimbostartus cloud.

Asked in Clouds
Is a cloud a type of condensation?
Yes, a cloud is condensation. Water evaporates into condensation
(a cloud).
Asked in Chemistry, Clouds, Evaporation and Condensation
Water vapor evaporates as tiny water vapor to a cloud?
No. Water vapor condense into tiny water droplets to form a
cloud.
Asked in Meteorology and Weather, Clouds, Atmospheric Sciences
Why do you form a little cloud when you exhale?
Because the cold air around you cannot hold as much water as
warm air in your breath, the moisture in your breath condenses when
it hits the cold air and forms into a little cloud.
