hail
rain
well, they collect all together in the cloud and when it is full enough it all drops as precipitation
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".
Hail forms from clouds when ice crystals in clouds become too large.

A large concentration of tiny water droplets is called a cloud. Clouds are formed from water vapor that condense into clouds.
clouds are large quantities of liquid water droplets
they are droplets of water ( the water that drops from clouds are 0.02 mm an average rain drop is 2 mm ) or they are droplets of ice (like hail)
There is usually some water vapor in the air. When the air cools rapidly, the water vapor condenses into water droplets. Clouds are made up of these water droplets (or ice crystals, if it is cold enough). If the droplets get large enough, they fall to the ground as rain.

No, they are large quantities of liquid water droplets.
Mostly, but clouds also contain dust particles and bits and pieces of ice, depending on how high they are. It is widely accepted that clouds are made of water droplets and water vapor
yes they are, rivers of it....called sky rivers
Because of their small size, cloud droplets have a very large surface area in proportion to their volume, which means they have an extremely slow terminal velocity. As a result, they are easily kept aloft by air currents. Additionally, because the air below a cloud is unsaturated, a cloud droplet would evaporate as soon as it existed the cloud.
