Cloud
A visible collection of minute particle matter, such as water droplets and/or ice crystals, in the free air. A cloud forms in the atmosphere as a result of condensation of water vapour in rising currents of air. They may also form from the evaporation of fog. Condensation nuclei, such as in smoke or dust particles, form a surface upon which water vapour can condense.
