Mystery Solved: How Thousands of Tons of Water Float in Clouds!

• Clouds are formed from tiny water droplets or ice crystals, not just vapor, at high altitudes.
• Their overall density is less than the dry air below, allowing them to float, similar to a hot air balloon.
• Upward currents of hot air (updrafts) continuously push these tiny droplets, keeping them suspended.
• Rain happens when droplets combine, become too heavy for updrafts, and fall due to gravity.
• A typical cloud can weigh over 500,000 kg and travel at 30-40 mph.
