HOW DO CLOUDS FORM?
- Water droplets form when they stick to particles of dust.
- The drops join other drops.
- The sun heats the ground and warm air rises.
- Condensation produces heat, which makes the droplets rise higher.
- Finally, when they are heavy enough they fall as rain, snow or hail.
-
- When the droplets are big enough, they fall inside the cloud.
