What are clouds made of and why do they stay suspended in the air?

Clouds and fog are made up of super tiny water droplets. Largely, heat rising from the earth keeps the droplets up in the air, but even without that, the droplets are so light that they would fall very, very slowly, indeed - so slow that a person could not see it. Sometimes the droplets join each other and become heavy enough to noticably fall and become rain. (Or hail, sleet, snow)

What substance are clouds made from?
Clouds are simply very small water droplets suspended in air.
Are clouds air?
Clouds are water suspended in air the same as mist.
What gas makes up clouds?
Clouds are gaseous. They are made of billions of tiny water droplets suspended in the air.
Do clouds fly?
No, they are suspended in the air and atmosphere by air currents.
When water vapour condenseit form tiny drops of water that forms clouds when do this droplets come down as rain?
Individual droplets are so small, that they can stay suspended in the air. If the droplets combine into larger drops that are too heavy to stay suspended, they fall as raindrops.
What are condensed moisture suspended in air molecules-for example stratus and cirrus?
Clouds.
What does droplets that become to heavy to remain suspended in the air fall out of the clouds as?
Precipitation
Water droplets that become too heavy to remain suspended in the air fall out of the clouds as?
Precipitation
How would you suspend 500000 pounds of water in the air with no visible means of support?
Just look up and see the clouds in the sky. Boil some water and watch the steam rise. Those are water molecules that are lighter than air because they are warmer. No, that steam and clouds will not stay suspended for ever.
When you see clouds or fog you see water in which state?
true
What is water vapor in the air that is to large to stay suspended in a cloud?
precipitation.
