Question

The cloud floats in the atmosphere because of its low

• A. Temperature
• B. Pressure
• C. Velocity
• D. Density

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Density

Buoyancy: The tendency of an object to float in a fluid based on its density.

Explanation for the correct option:

Option D:

1. Clouds are made up of water droplets.
2. This mixture which forms clouds has a very low density and high volume as compared to that of the air.
3. Hence, they experience a buoyant force from the surrounding air.
4. This balances their weights.
5. Therefore, the clouds are able to float due to their low density.

Hence, option D is the correct option.
