CLOUD
A cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water and/or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. They are also known as aerosols.
WATER VAPOR
Water vapor, also aqueous vapor, is the gas phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Under typical atmospheric conditions, water vapor is continuously generated by evaporation and removed by condensation. It is lighter than air and triggers convection currents that can lead to clouds. Water vapor is a potent greenhouse gas along with other gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.

What is the difference between clouds and water vapor?
Clouds are visible masses of condensed water droplets or ice crystals floating in the atmosphere, while water vapor is the invisible gaseous form of water that is present in the air. Clouds form when water vapor in the air condenses around particles like dust or salt nuclei.
Which clouds are made of water vapor?
All clouds are made of water vapor.
Is water vapor found in clouds?
Yes, water vapor is a key component of clouds. When warm, moist air rises and cools in the atmosphere, the water vapor condenses into tiny droplets around particles like dust or salt. These droplets eventually come together to form clouds.
How do you know that clouds aren't just composed of water vapor?
Actually, clouds aren't even water vapor! Water vapor is invisible, and clouds aren't invisible. Clouds are in the liquid form of water, believe it or not. There may be water in solid form if ice is present in the cloud, but otherwise, clouds are fully liquid water.
What is the process between sea water vapor to water droplets to clouds?
Sea water evaporates due to heat from the sun, forming water vapor. The water vapor then rises and cools in the atmosphere, condensing into water droplets. These water droplets clump together to form clouds through the process of condensation.
What is the difference between clouds and water vapor?
Clouds are visible masses of condensed water droplets or ice crystals floating in the atmosphere, while water vapor is the invisible gaseous form of water that is present in the air. Clouds form when water vapor in the air condenses around particles like dust or salt nuclei.
What is the difference between fog and clouds?
Clouds and fog are both water vapor that's visible in the air. Clouds are found above ground level, are more common, and usually thicker. Fog occurs at ground level.
Which clouds are made of water vapor?
All clouds are made of water vapor.
How are storms clouds and water vapor all connected?
All clouds are condensing water vapor.
What is clouds and water vapor from the water cycle?
Clouds are a collection of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Water vapor is the gaseous form of water in the air. Both clouds and water vapor are essential components of the water cycle, where water is constantly moving between the earth's surface and the atmosphere through processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
What is the vapor pressure deficit formula used to calculate the difference between the actual vapor pressure and the saturation vapor pressure in the atmosphere?
The vapor pressure deficit formula is used to calculate the difference between the actual vapor pressure and the saturation vapor pressure in the atmosphere. It is calculated by subtracting the actual vapor pressure from the saturation vapor pressure.
What does clouds have to do with water?
Clouds have to do with water because water vapor precipitates into the clouds.
Are clouds made up of vapor or droplets?
Clouds are made of vapor, but when the vapor gets too dense, droplets form, fall, and become rain.
How are fog and clouds alike?
In both fog and cloud, the dispersed phase is a liquid and the dispersion medium is air (gas). The only difference between them is that the fog is formed in the region close to earth while clouds are formed in the upper layer of the atmosphere.
Is formation of clouds a reversible change?
Yes, the formation of clouds is considered a reversible change. When water vapor in the atmosphere cools, it condenses into tiny water droplets, forming clouds. This process can be reversed; when clouds warm up or the water droplets evaporate, they can return to a gaseous state, allowing the water vapor to re-enter the atmosphere. Thus, the transformation between water vapor and cloud droplets can occur repeatedly.
