Water vapor in the air forms clouds through a process called condensation. When warm, moist air rises, it cools as it ascends, leading to a decrease in temperature. Once the air reaches its dew point, the water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, depending on the temperature. These aggregated droplets or crystals cluster together to form visible clouds.

What form of water end the air?
Water that evaporates will rise and form clouds of water vapour.
What forms in the sky when water vapour condense into water droplets?
Clouds form in the sky when water vapor condenses into water droplets. This process occurs when warm, moist air rises, cools, and reaches its dew point, causing the water vapor to condense and form visible clouds.
What would happen if the air in the upper atmosphere were warmer than the water vapor in the air?
It is impossible for the water vapour in the air to be at a different temperature from the air of which it is a part. However warm air can hold more water vapour than cool air. Thus when air is warming up there are unlikely to be any clouds (clouds are caused by water vapour condensing out of air).
Why do clouds form well above the ground?
The water vapour in the air does not condense until the air temp is low enough. This temp is reached as clouds go higher. Some clouds eg fog do form at ground level when conditions are right.
What is inside the clouds?
Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals. These droplets form when water vapor in the air condenses onto particles such as dust or salt. The different types of clouds can vary in altitude, thickness, and composition.
What form of water end the air?
Water that evaporates will rise and form clouds of water vapour.
Air evaporates from ocean water and rises?
The water vapour rises to form clouds.
Why can you see clouds but not water vapour in the air?
It is because water vapour is air so it can't be seen but when we breath out in the mirror,water vapour is found.
What is water called in the form of a gas?
Water vapour, steam, or clouds; depending on the context used.
What role does cloud play in the water cycle?
the clouds take in the evaporated water and rain or snow which is called precipitation
Why are clouds not evaporated if they are water vapour?
Clouds are made up of water droplets of varying size, or ice crystals, not water vapour. Water vapour is the evaporite of clouds, and clouds often dissipate, so the water droplets making up the cloud change from visible water droplets to invisible water vapour. The "vapour trails" from aircraft engine exhausts are actually areas of cloud formation as water from burnt fuel condenses in cold air aloft.
Why do clouds form when air rises?
As air rises, it cools adiabatically. This is the result of less pressure being applied to a parcel of air as it rises in altitude (as there is less air pressing down above it). As the air cools, its capacity to suspend water vapour decreases, and it may approach one hundred percent relative humidity, also known as dew point. Dew point is the temperature at which water vapour will condense in air at a given pressure. The condensed water vapour will form clouds, which may cause precipitation.
What forms in the sky when water vapour condense into water droplets?
Clouds form in the sky when water vapor condenses into water droplets. This process occurs when warm, moist air rises, cools, and reaches its dew point, causing the water vapor to condense and form visible clouds.

Do clouds form from water produced by condensation or from water vapour in the air?
Clouds form from water vapor in the air that condenses into water droplets or ice crystals. This condensation occurs when the air reaches its dew point, causing the water vapor to change into visible cloud particles.
Water vapour in the air?
is called humidity.
Why do clouds form well above the ground?
The water vapour in the air does not condense until the air temp is low enough. This temp is reached as clouds go higher. Some clouds eg fog do form at ground level when conditions are right.
