![What is a cloud? A cloud is a large collection of tiny water droplets and ice crystals that are light enough to float in the air. ,[object Object],All air contains water, but near the ground it is in the form of water vapor. As the warm air rises, it expands and cools. Cool air can’t hold as much water as warm air, so some of it condenses into tiny pieces of dust floating through the air. A droplet forms around these particles, and once enough of these come together, a visible cloud forms. ,[object Object],Clouds are white because of the sunlight reflected off of them. Sunlight contains all the colors of the rainbow, and when they are all mixed together, you get white!!!!](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
