Best Answer

Because we have a thing called an atmosphere. Air pressure, temperature, and other factors condense water particles that form small water droplets that form tiny ice crystals that group up with other ice crystals that form what we see as clouds.

Why is the formation of clouds important?

Clouds are important because they are part of the Earth's water cycle. If clouds did not exist, life would not continue on earth.


Are clouds in space?

The clouds that we normally see, such as rain clouds, are in the Earth's atmosphere and therefore are not in space. However, there do exist clouds in space, which have been observed by astronomers. They do not have the same chemical composition as clouds in our atmosphere.


Why the clouds remain present around the earth and never travelled over the space?

Clouds need air to exist.


How much clouds exist?

It depends on how much water that evaporated.


Why does thunder exist when raining but if its not raining the thunder will not exist why?

Thunder and lightening exist because of the electrostatic build up in large clouds. These same clouds also contain lots of rain. It is possible to hear the thunder from miles away even before the rain arrives. If the clouds are passing your location, you may never get the rain.


Will clouds be white without h20.?

No they will not be white because h20 is water evaporating to the air.

Describe the main characteristics of cirrus cumulus and stratus clouds?

Cumulus clouds are puffy, billowing clouds rather than stratified, and can exist as well-defined within a mass of otherwise clear air. Rapid heating can cause towering cumulus clouds or may create the related forms known as cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds.

Can planes fly over clouds?

They can fly over the majority of clouds, but not all clouds. Depending on the latitude, a commercial airliner cruises at an altitude such that it is on the cusp of the troposphere and stratosphere, which is the most economical place to fly. In temperate latitudes this is around 30-40,000 feet. While this is well above the low to mid-level clouds that exist below 20,000 feet, it is nowhere near the high-level clouds which can exist well beyond the stratosphere, in the mesosphere, which typically begins at around 160,000 feet. These clouds are thin and whispy, consisting mostly of ice crystals due to the extremely low temperature.
