Cloud formation takes place when the temperature drops. If the temperature drops to the "dew point" droplet formation takes place. Usually for a droplet to form it takes a "nucleus of condensation" which is a speck of dust or something like that. There is lots of dust in the air, thus droplets can freely form.
The atmosphere contains lots of moisture and when the air cools it cant hold the moisture any longer thus we get rain.
So if a nucleus of condensation is present and the temperature drops, we get droplet formation.
Falling moisture of clouds refers to the process by which water droplets in clouds coalesce and grow until they are heavy enough to fall as precipitation, such as rain or snow. This process is known as precipitation and occurs when the moisture content in the clouds exceeds their capacity to hold water, leading to the release of precipitation.
Cumulus and nimbus clouds hold water in the form of water droplets or ice crystals. These clouds are typically associated with precipitation and can release water in the form of rain, snow, or hail.
Precipitation falls from clouds in the atmosphere. It can include rain, snow, sleet, or hail depending on the temperature and atmospheric conditions at the time.
No. those clouds are to high to produce precipitation.
Nimbostratus clouds typically produce steady rainfall or snowfall. These clouds are thick, dense, and spread over a large area, leading to prolonged and moderate precipitation.
This step comes after condensation (after the formation of clouds. During this step, clouds release water through precipitation. Examples are rain and snow. Basically, precipitation is water falling from the clouds to the earth.

Yes, the source of all clouds and precipitation is water vapor. Water evaporates from bodies of water, such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, and rises into the atmosphere where it cools and condenses to form clouds. When the conditions are right, these clouds release precipitation in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Nimbus clouds are the type of clouds that typically hold precipitation, such as rain or snow. These clouds are often thick and dark in appearance, indicating that they are heavily saturated with moisture and are likely to release precipitation.
Stratus clouds can produce light precipitation like drizzle or light rain. They are generally thick, low-lying clouds that can bring sustained precipitation over a large area. However, they tend to produce less intense rainfall compared to other types of clouds like cumulonimbus clouds.
Precipitation is occurring when the clouds release rain.
Precipitation forms when water droplets in clouds grow large enough to fall due to gravity. Not all clouds have enough moisture or updrafts to support precipitation. Additionally, some clouds may be too high in the atmosphere for precipitation to reach the ground before evaporating.
No, usually only Nimbus clouds produce noticeable precipitation.

Precipitation occurs when evaporation forms clouds and the clouds release the moisture back to the earth.
Clouds are dark when it rains because they are full of water. When a cloud is saturated with water, it has to release some of it, in the form of precipitation.
