Question

Clouds are unable to hold droplets of water beyond a limit because:

• A. They become heavier.
• B. They become lighter.
• C. They undergo condensation slowly.
• D. They undergo sublimation.

Answer 1

The correct option is A They become heavier.

Clouds are formed as a result of water molecules arising from the earth’s surface through evaporation by the sun. This is because they weigh less. These water vapours cool down as they reach higher altitudes, making them heavier. This causes them to fall down to the ground in the form of rain, snow, sleet, etc.
