How are clouds formed?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When the water bodies are heated with solar radiations during the day, a large amount of water evaporates and goes in the air. The air carrying water vapours also gets heated. This hot air rises up carryihg water vapours with it. As the air rises, it expands and cools. This cooling causes the water vapours in the air to condense as tiny droplets. Dust or other suspended particles present in the air act as the nucleus for these droplets to form around. The droplets of water once formed slowly grow bigger by the condensation of more water droplets. An enormous collection of tiny droplets of water appear as clouds. When the droplets have grown big and heavy, they fall down in the form of rain.
