Basically, clouds are water... Clouds are simply condensed water vapor. If you've ever felt fog and gotten wet from it that's why- Fog is a low cloud. For a cloud to form, there needs to be a decrease in pressure and a decrease in temperature (commonly found in high altitudes ;D) And they also need a surface to form on, called condensation nuclei (dirt or dust particles that are in the air are what they form on) Hoped I helped, I'm glad taking earth science gives me the knowledge of theses things..

Why is it important to know about clouds?
Clouds as in water vapour clouds or servers? Clouds as in evapourated water chemically combined with elements and gases in the air helps for weather prediction, forecast. Understanding this also helps to understand certain physics principles. diffrerent types of clouds include cumulonimbus, mist, Clouds as in servers that allow you to remotely access data is important in terms of computer sciences. examples are: Icloud, skydrive and dropbox
What reflects energy from the sun in the atmosphere?
Water. The actual is Clouds, gases and dust reflects 25% of the incoming sun light. Clouds reflect light back to space. Dust particles and gases reflect light in all directions in a process called scattering. Gas particles scatter shorter wavelengths of visible light (blue and violet), and that is why the sky is blue.
How do clouds absorb water from the sea?
The sun evaporates water from the Earth and it turns into water vapour. Water vapour rises up into the sky and forms clouds. When the clouds get heavy (means a lot of evaporation), water falls form the sky as rain. The water comes from the clouds. (clouds are not gases. They are solids)
How does the atmosphere reflect energy?
Some sunlight is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere before it can reach the surfaces.
The process of rain?
The basic process of rain is this: The sun heats up water, and turns it into a gas. Then the gases rise and form clouds, and when dense enough drop the water as rain.
Can clouds become gases?
They are gases
What is all the clouds?
Gases
Are clouds part of greenhouse gases?
no
How do clouds live?
They. Breathe gases to grow
Which two gases are most common in interstellar clouds?

Are clouds made up of gases?
Yes of course clouds are made up of chemical dioxcide
Is it true that clouds are made up of gases?
It true!
Are clouds considered gases?
yes clouds are considered a gas in the science study solid,liquid and gas
What causes the belts of clouds seen on Neptune?
The clouds are made up of gases spread over neptune
What can be found between star in a galaxy?
clouds of gases and dust
What happens to gases when they reach the clouds?
the clould will produce rain which is water
What type of cloud will prevent greenhouse gases the most?
cummulus clouds
