evaporation from the sea floats up and forms clouds. when the
clouds become too heavy they perspire! and the whole process starts
again
As air parcels cool due to expansion of the rising air mass,
water vapor begins to condense on condensation nuclei such as dust,
ice and salt. This process forms clouds.

Which of these does not contribute to changing seasons angle of incidence of solar radiation tilt of the earth on its axis distance between the earth and sun or revolution of the earth around the sun
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/14
The distance of the Earth from the sun does not contribute to
the changing seasons. Although this distance does change (since the
Earth's orbit is elliptical, not perfectly circular) the amount of
the change is not great enough to affect the seasons. It is the
angle of incidence of solar radiation, which in turn is affected by
the axial tilt of the Earth and its revolution around the sun,
which creates the changing seasons.
