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..

What gases are clouds made of?

Clouds are primarily made up of water vapor, but they also contain other gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.


Is air and clouds examples of gas?

Yes, air is a mixture of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Clouds are composed of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air. Both air and clouds can be considered examples of gases in the atmosphere.


Why are clouds not classed as a gas?

Clouds are composed of water droplets or ice crystals that have condensed from water vapor in the atmosphere. While they are formed from gases, clouds are considered visible collections of water in liquid or solid form, rather than a gas.


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 are ubiquitous gas clouds?

Ubiquitous gas clouds are large clouds of gas that are found throughout space, particularly in vast regions of galaxies. They consist of various gases, such as hydrogen and helium, and play a crucial role in the formation of stars and galaxies. These gas clouds can vary in size and density, and are an essential component of the interstellar medium.
