How do clouds form?



How do clouds form?

As warmer air pass over the ocean or large open lakes, the air picks up water vapour. As the air warms, it rises because warm air is less dense than cold air. As the warm air rises, the air cools and the water vapour in the air condenses to form clouds of water droplets.

Clouds that form at the surface of the Earth are known as fog.
