A cloud is primarily made up of tiny droplets of liquid water but also contains water vapor (gas) and, in some cases, solid water - ice - in the form of hail or snow flakes.

How does the ability of water to change form from solid to liquid to gas contribute to the water cycle?
Solid water (snow) falls on the mountains in the winter. When spring comes, the solid water melts into liquid water, flows downhill to a stream, then into a river, and then into an ocean. The Sun warms the surface of the ocean, evaporating the liquid water into gaseous water vapor. The water vapor rises into the sky and forms clouds, which are blown into the mountains where the clouds cool, and form solid water (snow), which falls in the mountains in the winter.
Can fresh water occur as a gasliquidor solid?
Yes. As a gas, it is called water vapor, and is invisible. As a liquid, it is called water, and as a solid, it is called ice.
What changes when you freez fresh water?
Volume increases, and there is a change of phase from liquid to solid.
Examples of liquid in solid mixtures?
As gas is the solute and liquid is the solvent then SODA ie bottled soft drinks is the right example. If gas is the solvent and liquid is the solute then clouds are the apt example.
What are the three phases of water?
Ice, Water, and Steam.Bonus answer: Plasma!
What form is the water in when it is in the clouds liquid or solid?
When water is in clouds it's a solid
What happens when water is in the clouds is it a liquid or solid?
liquid
Is cloud solid or liquid?
Clouds are water. Water can be found in three forms : solid, liquid and gas. Water as a gas is called water vapour. Clouds form when water vapour turns back into liquid water droplets. That is called condensation. So, clouds are liquid water droplets.
Where can three forms of water be found at same place?
solid luquid gas in antrica the ice solid the water liquid the clouds is the gas
How do you know that clouds aren't just composed of water vapor?
Actually, clouds aren't even water vapor! Water vapor is invisible, and clouds aren't invisible. Clouds are in the liquid form of water, believe it or not. There may be water in solid form if ice is present in the cloud, but otherwise, clouds are fully liquid water.
In which state of matter is water found?
Water can be found as a liquid, or frozen as solid ice, hailstones, or as snow, or as a vapour forming clouds.
Can water only exist as a liquid?
no, it can be ice and snow and it can be evaporated

What state of matter are clouds?
Although many people think they are in solid form or water vapor, clouds are actually liquid water. It's impossible for them to be water vapor, because vapor is invisible. Clouds are not invisible.
Can fresh water occur as a gasliquidor solid?
Yes. As a gas, it is called water vapor, and is invisible. As a liquid, it is called water, and as a solid, it is called ice.
What are the basic forms in which water can be found?
Solid (ice, snow), Liquid (just plain water), Gas (fog, clouds).
What changes when you freez fresh water?
Volume increases, and there is a change of phase from liquid to solid.
