How clouds are maade

A cloud is a collection of  small drops  of water. The droplets are so light that they can float in the air. A cloud is made up of water droplets. A cloud forms when air is warmed up by the sun. As it rises, it slowly cools it reaches the saturation point and water condenses, forming a cloud. As long as the cloud and the air that its made of is warmer than the outside air around it, it floats!  


How are clouds formed?
Air contains water, but close to the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. When warm air rises, it grows and cools. Cold air can't hold as much water vapor as warm air, so some of the vapor condenses on tiny pieces of dust that are flying in the air and forms a tiny droplet around each dust. When billions of these droplets come together they become a cloud.


Clouds and fog a basically the same thing, except fog is pretty much on the ground.fog is more seethrough than cloud.

Rain forms by the vaporised water collecting together and then gets to heavy that it all falls to the ground.

Rain is important.  If we didn’t have it we would have no water and we would have to do all the watering.  So it may be horrible and cold but its helpfull
