A weather front typically forms when both warm and cool air meet. Both the difference in air temperature, as well as the density of the air, can cause a front. Warm fronts are more slow moving than cold fronts and usually produce precipitation.

Fronts are depicted on weather maps with arrows showing where the front has come from and what direction the front is moving.

a front is the boundary where unlike air masses meet but do not mix.

and so, huge air masses colide with each other , but don't mix, and a boundary becomes where the air masses meet, and it becomes a front.

A front forms when two or more air masses come in contact with each other. The front is usually a line where they meet.

Fronts form where air masses meet. When cold air joins with warm air or vice versa, a front is formed. Fronts can be cold fronts, warm fronts and occluded fronts.

Fronts where high and low pressure systems meet for storms. In warm weather they form thunderstorms. In cold weather they can form snow storms.
