In a nutshell, clouds are collections of tiny water droplets, formed when the warm air that is being heated by the sun's rays meets the cold, damp air coming up off the cold ground.

When enough water droplets have gathered together, they get too heavy to float and fall down as rain. How does rain form and what is the water cycle? Forms of Precipitation.
