Cloud Formation refers to the process by which water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into tiny droplets or ice crystals, creating visible clouds. This process typically occurs when warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to condensation. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure play crucial roles in cloud development. There are several types of clouds, including cumulus, stratus, and cirrus, each formed under different conditions. Cumulus clouds are fluffy and often indicate fair weather, while stratus clouds are flat and gray, often bringing overcast skies. Understanding cloud formation helps meteorologists predict weather patterns.
