How are clouds formed?

  • Clouds are formed by the process of evaporation and condensation
  • Water evaporates from water bodies and rises up in the air. This air also gets heated.
  • Hot air carrying water vapour rises up. It cools down as it goes up.
  • Cooling causes condensation of water vapour, which leads to the formation of tiny droplets.
  • Tiny droplets grow bigger and heavy by more condensation which ultimately leads to the formation of clouds.
