The clouds are rain. all the clouds are is water vapor(thats a fancy name for microscopic water) the water is so SMALL in the clouds it is too light to fall. then when it is heavy enough to fall you get rain

How much clouds exist?

It depends on how much water that evaporated.


If cold air mixes with air that has a lot of water vapor what will happen to the water vapor?

It may condense into clouds, or into precipitation, because cooler air cannot hold as much water vapor as warmer air.


How does a cloud hold water?

i think that clouds hold their water by saturation. so when the water gets more heavy then the cloud the water turns into droplets(rain). i know that this is not the best answer but at least i tried.


How does rain fall on this earth?

Clouds contain water vapor (steam) which condenses and becomes water when it gets cold. This heavier water then falls down as rain. It's the same reason that your cold glass of iced tea sweats-- the water in the air cools down around it and becomes water.


Why do clouds produce rain?

Clouds produce rain because water that has been evaporated needs somewhere to go. Any h20 gets evaporated. And then condensed which means for water to become a water vapor or cloud. Once so much water gets evaporated and then condensed, it has no where where else to go but down. Gravity can't hold the droplets of water that form in clouds. droplets of water fall down onto the ground. These droplets of water are known as rain.


Do cumulus clouds produce rain?

Yes. These are the puffy ones, right? The clouds have to have enough mass to hold the weight of water, which gets pretty heavy.


What different forms that water takes as altitude increases?

At higher altitudes it is colder. The cooler air can't hold the water in gas form so it condenses out as clouds.


How do clouds hold water when there is rain?

Clouds are made of condensed water vapor droplets. When the droplets merge with increasing condensation, they get heavier and gravity drops them to the ground in the form of rain. The clouds are loaded with moisture and produce millions of gallons of water, so they do not run out of water very quickly when it continues to rain


Why do some clouds become big?

Some clouds become bigger because they hold more water. If the cloud was over an area with alot of water while it was hot outside, they will tend to be bigger then clouds over completely dry land in the cold.
