How do clouds form and float?

Upward vertical motions, or updrafts, in the atmosphere also contribute to the floating appearance of clouds by offsetting the small fall velocities of their constituent particles. Clouds generally form, survive and grow in air that is moving upward. read more

Clouds float because the water droplets that comprise them are so incredibly tiny that they do not fall very fast. As clouds frequently occur in places that are experiencing updrafts, the force of the air pushing them up offsets the weight of the water droplets. read more

Clouds are composed primarily of small water droplets and, if it's cold enough, ice crystals. The vast majority of clouds you see contain droplets and/or crystals that are too small to have any appreciable fall velocity. So the particles continue to float with the surrounding air. read more

Clouds form when heat makes the unseen water vapour rise as, there are salts and dust (aerosols) in the air all floating around and when the water vapour, rises and collides with the aerosols the water vapour sticks to the aerosols, this is known as condensation, and this forms clouds until saturation point is reached when separate droplets start combining together. read more
