Detailed explanation-1: -If so, they are called supercooled droplets. Clouds at higher and extremely cold levels in the atmosphere are composed of ice crystals-these can be about a tenth of a millimeter long. Clouds form when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clouds appear when there is too much water vapour for the air to hold. The water vapour (gas) then condenses to form tiny water droplets (liquid), and it is the water that makes the cloud visible. These droplets are so small that they stay suspended in the air.

Detailed explanation-3: -Altocumulus clouds are mid level clouds that are made of water droplets and appear as gray puffy masses. They usually form in groups. If you see altocumulus clouds on a warm, sticky morning, be prepared to see thunderstorms late in the afternoon.

Detailed explanation-4: -A cloud is made of water drops or ice crystals floating in the sky.

Detailed explanation-5: -Altostratus clouds are gray or blue-gray mid-level clouds composed of ice crystals and water droplets. The clouds usually cover the entire sky. Weather prediction: Be prepared for continuous rain or snow! Nimbostratus clouds are dark, gray clouds that seem to fade into falling rain or snow.
