  • Clouds are known as an important part of Earth's weather and they are of many types.
  • A cloud is generally made up of the tiny water droplets or ice crystals floating in the sky.
  • When the water vapor goes higher in the sky, the air gets cooler which causes the water droplets to start to stick to things like bits of dust, ice or sea salt.
  • Clouds get basically formed from the water vapours when they undergoes condensation in the sky.
  • Also the air where the cloud forms should be cool enough for the water vapor to undergo condensation.
