How does the clouds make water?
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".
When rain falls from clouds and freezes along the way?
It is Sleet. Hail is when water droplets condense out of the cloud and are carried upwards in a draught to a colder refion, whereupon the water droplets freeze into ice. and fall to Earth as hail.
When warm water vapor is cooled by colder air is it turn into tiny water droplets?
yes, it condenses. thats why it rains. clouds become too heavy and water droplets (rain) fall. if the air is cold as it falls it can become snow or hail.
What form in the upper atmosphere when condensation occurs?
When condensation occurs in the upper atmosphere, it typically forms clouds. Water vapor in the air cools and condenses around tiny particles, such as dust or pollen, resulting in the formation of water droplets or ice crystals, depending on the temperature. These droplets and crystals gather to create visible cloud formations. In colder regions of the upper atmosphere, ice clouds, such as cirrus clouds, may form instead of water droplet clouds.
What best describes the composition or make up of clouds?
Clouds are primarily composed of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. These droplets form when water vapor in the air condenses around small particles, such as dust or pollen, during cooling processes. The specific composition can vary based on temperature and altitude, with warmer clouds containing more liquid water and colder ones containing more ice. Additionally, clouds can also contain pollutants and other atmospheric particles, which can influence their properties and behavior.
What is the correct term for rising water vapor meeting colder air and turning back into water droplets?
The correct term is condensation. This occurs when rising water vapor meets colder air, causing it to lose heat and change back into liquid water in the form of water droplets.
Can clouds freeze in the atmosphere?
Yes, clouds can freeze in the atmosphere when the temperature is below freezing. This can happen at higher altitudes where temperatures are colder, causing water droplets in the clouds to freeze into ice crystals.

Are cumulonimbus clouds made of water droplets or ice crystals?
They are made of bolth because they are vertically developed. The bottom is made of water, and as they develop higher, become ice.
What turns clouds into rain?
When clouds move higher in the atmosphere - to a colder region - increased condensation takes place. Alternatively, the clouds may meet another region of air with extra water condensation already in it. The water droplets become larger and heavier, which then sink to the ground. This is what we experience as rain.

Why are some clouds formed from waterdroplets while others are made up of ice crystals?
Clouds are made up of very small water droplets which are suspended in the air. Usually water droplets are in the warm section of the cloud, if the air continues to cool, the small droplets will join together to form larger droplets or ice crystals. The ice crystals are usually higher and as you may know the higher you go the colder it gets so that's how ice crystals are formed.

What happends to clouds when it gets could?
When temperatures drop, the water vapor in clouds can condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, leading to the formation of denser clouds. This can result in precipitation, such as rain or snow, depending on the temperature. Additionally, colder air can cause clouds to dissipate if they lose their moisture content. Overall, cooling influences cloud formation, density, and precipitation patterns.
Why are the clouds so high in the sky?
Clouds form as a result of moisture in the air condensing into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. The height at which clouds form varies depending on factors like temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. High clouds are typically found at altitudes of 20,000 feet or above, where temperatures are colder and water vapor can condense into ice crystals.
