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.
Is any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches the ground?
In solid form: sleet, hail, snow In liquid form: rain, drizzle, fog
What state of matter are clouds?
Although many people think they are in solid form or water vapor, clouds are actually liquid water. It's impossible for them to be water vapor, because vapor is invisible. Clouds are not invisible.
What is precipitation and why does it occur?
Precipitation is rain. It happens when the water is evaporated into the clouds amd then the clouds release the water vapor into a liquid form.
How does water vapor form clouds?
When the air cools, its molecules come closer together. Thus, molecules of water vapor in the air come closer together, too. Then, the molecules of water vapor condense (or turn from gas to liquid state) on tiny solid particles in the atmosphere. The tiny droplets of water result from condensation form the clouds that we see in the sky.

Can water only exist as a liquid?
no, it can be ice and snow and it can be evaporated
How does the ability of water to change form from solid to liquid to gas contribute to the water cycle?
Solid water (snow) falls on the mountains in the winter. When spring comes, the solid water melts into liquid water, flows downhill to a stream, then into a river, and then into an ocean. The Sun warms the surface of the ocean, evaporating the liquid water into gaseous water vapor. The water vapor rises into the sky and forms clouds, which are blown into the mountains where the clouds cool, and form solid water (snow), which falls in the mountains in the winter.
Is cloud solid or liquid?
Clouds are water. Water can be found in three forms : solid, liquid and gas. Water as a gas is called water vapour. Clouds form when water vapour turns back into liquid water droplets. That is called condensation. So, clouds are liquid water droplets.
What state of matter are clouds?

What are the three states of water with definition?
The three states of water are: liquid, solid (ice) and gas (water vapor).Water vapor is an invisible part of the air. Steam, fog and clouds are formed by tiny droplets of liquid water floating in the air.
How do clouds let go of rain?
rain is water in liquid form, and clouds are water in gas form. when the air cools, water changes form into liquid and falls to the ground. water in gas form is a lot lighter than water in liquid form.
Is ice liquid or gas?
Ice is water in its solid form. When it melts, it is water in its liquid form.
Is fresh water in clouds a solid liquid or a gas?
A cloud is primarily made up of tiny droplets of liquid water but also contains water vapor (gas) and, in some cases, solid water - ice - in the form of hail or snow flakes.
What are three states of water?
solid liquid and gas Solid form: Ice, Liquid form: water, Gas form: water vapor / steam
What atmospheric gas forms clouds?
Clouds form when water vapor condenses into liquid water.
