Is cloud a liquid or solid?

Answer 1

• Cloud is liquid.
• Clouds are formed in the Earth's atmosphere when water evaporates into vapor from oceans, lakes, ponds, and even streams and rivers
• The vapor rises up into colder areas of the atmosphere due to convective or frontal lifting.
• This subjects the rising air to a process called adiabatic cooling. The water vapor attaches itself to condensation nuclei which can be anything from dust to microscopic particles of salt and debris.
• Once the vapor has been cooled to saturation, the cloud becomes visible.

Cloud can take the following meanings per dictionary reference:

• A visible body of very fine water droplets or ice particles suspended in the atmosphere at altitudes ranging up to several miles above sea level.
• A mass, as of dust, smoke, or steam, suspended in the atmosphere or in outer space.
• A large moving body of things in the air or on the ground; a swarm: a cloud of locusts.
• Something that darkens or fills with gloom.
• A dark region or blemish, as on a polished stone.
• Something that obscures.Suspicion or a charge affecting a reputation.
• A collection of charged particles: an electron cloud.
