Water can consist of hot, cold, or both to form a cloud.
- With hot water, clouds will form when hot water evaporates then cools when it rises into the air. After, the warm air will expand into the atmosphere. Finally, the warm air will create water vapor that will form water droplets and create the basis of a cloud.
- The temperature is very low if the water is cold. When it's cold outside, it results in a lower humidity which evaporates the water faster then it would in warm weather since the humidity would be higher. Water droplets in clouds start to form into bits of ice that fall to the earth because of the mass the ice bit has.
Best of Luck!
