28. WEATHER HEADLINES
• How does rain form?
Water droplets form from warm air. As the warm air rises in the sky it
cools. Water vapor (invisible water in the air) always exists in our air.
Warm air holds quite a bit of water. For example, in the summer it is
usually very humid. When enough of these droplets collect together,
we see them as clouds. If the clouds are big enough and have
enough water droplets, the droplets bang together and form even
bigger drops. When the drops get heavy, they fall because of
gravity, and you see and feel rain.
