The cloud must stay warmer than the surrounding air in order to keep growing.
As air rises within a cumulonimbus cloud, it expands and cools due to decreasing atmospheric pressure. The heat released from water vapor condensing into liquid water within the cloud helps keep the rising air warmer than its surroundings. This warmer air is less dense, allowing it to continue rising within the cloud.
The heat from condensation makes the rising air warmer and stay less dense than the air around it.
When the rising warm air reaches it's dew point, the water vapor in the air condenses and forms cumulus clouds. If the atmosphere is extremely unstable, the warm air will continue to rise, which causes the cloud to grow in to a dark, cumulonimbus cloud. This cloud is a thunderstorm cloud.

A vortex of air rising into a cloud is called an updraft. Updrafts contribute to the formation and development of clouds by lifting warm, moist air into the atmosphere. This process is crucial for cloud formation and precipitation.
A cloud stops rising when it reaches a height in the atmosphere where the air temperature is equal to or cooler than the temperature of the rising air in the cloud. At this point, the cloud's upward motion halts and it spreads out horizontally.
Cloud cover acts as a barrier or blanket preventing heat from rising into space. This is why deserts, with no cloud, are often extremely cold at night.
In a rising air parcel, the temperature tends to decrease due to adiabatic expansion, as the pressure around it decreases with altitude. However, the humidity can increase if the air parcel cools to its dew point, leading to condensation and cloud formation. Additionally, the buoyancy of the air parcel increases as it rises, allowing it to continue ascending until it reaches a point of equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere.

A mushroom cloud is the product of a very large explosion, such as from the detonation of a nuclear weapon. The cloud itself is formed by the rapidly rising ball of hot gasses.

Rising air typically forms cumulus clouds, which are fluffy and white with a flat base and a puffy top. These clouds are associated with fair weather conditions but can develop into larger storm clouds if conditions become unstable.
