Question

How are clouds formed? How do clouds cause precipitation?

✓

Answer

When water vapour rises, it starts cooling.
Water vapour condenses which results in formation of droplets of water.
These droplets hanging in the air above are called clouds.
Clouds are masses of these water droplets.
When these droplets of water become too heavy to float in the air, they come down as precipitation.
