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 the tiny water droplets in a the clouds?
The tiny drops of water are cool and it condenses.
What is the water cycel?
When the sun warms the sea, it turns it into vapour, this is called evaporation. The water vapour rises. As it rises it cools. The water vapour condenses into tiny water droplets. These form clouds. As the clouds are carried along by the wind, the droplets inside them grow into larger droplets. Leading to precipitation. The water drops fall as rain ( it might be: snow, hail or sleet). Some of the rain falls along the ground, and some soaks through it heading for the river. The river carries it back to the sea. The cycle is complete. And then it starts all over again...
Why are clouds at the top of the troposphere made of ice rather than drops of water?
It is very cold up there, and water droplets freeze into ice.
Why are clouds at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
It is very cold up there, and water droplets freeze into ice.
How are fluffy clouds formed?
Fluffy clouds are called cumulus clouds. Cumulus clouds may be formed by three things: supercooled water droplets, ice crystals, or water vapor. What they are made of depends on the temperature. They are formed when warm surface air rises from the earth and the temperature in the atmosphere drops.
Are clouds made of water drops?
Yes clouds are made of tiny water droplets.

Difference between rain and dew?
dew is condensation of excess water vapour rain is drops of water that falls from clouds
What are formed when water vapor condenses?
clouds form
Where did the droplets of water come from?
Droplets of water will condense on a surface when the surface drops below the Dew Point temperature at that relative humidity.That is, the vapour condenses into a liquid phase. The droplet shape is caused by surface tension of the liquid.
How do clouds hold water when there is rain?
Clouds are made of condensed water vapor droplets. When the droplets merge with increasing condensation, they get heavier and gravity drops them to the ground in the form of rain. The clouds are loaded with moisture and produce millions of gallons of water, so they do not run out of water very quickly when it continues to rain
Why are clouds at the top of the troposphere made of ice rather than drops of water?
It is very cold up there, and water droplets freeze into ice.
What are Droplets that become so large and heavy that they can no longer stay up in the air fall to earth's surface?
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)
Is cloud a matter?
Liquid and solid. Clouds are formed from tiny droplets of water or ice. Low fluffy clouds are liquid, the high streak clouds are usually solid ice particles. You can see the droplets often when you walk through fog, which is the same as a cloud, but at ground level.
Is it true that cloud condenses when rain is formed?
No, clouds are little droplets of liquid water (or ice). Those small droplets or ice crystals grow together to become rain drops or snow or hail etc.
Why are clouds of the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
It is very cold up there, and water droplets freeze into ice.
