Answer the following Questions Briefly:

How are clouds formed?


During the process of the water cycle the water vapour rises above the surface of the earth. Cool moisture-laden air gets collected around particles like dust, salt content from the sea, smoke etc., and forms clouds. So the clouds are formed when warm and moist air rises up, cools, and then expands in the atmosphere. The water vapour in the air condenses to form tiny water droplets which form the basis of the clouds.
