SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The stratosphere is very dry air and contains little water vapor. Because of this, few clouds are found in this layer and almost all clouds occur in the lower, more humid troposphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -Even though a cloud weighs tons, it doesn’t fall on you because the rising air responsible for its formation keeps the cloud floating in the air. The air below the cloud is denser than the cloud, thus the cloud floats on top of the denser air nearer the land surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Clouds are more common at higher altitudes because as air rises, moisture content slowly increases until water vapor is able to condense and form clouds. In summation, temperature and humidity conditions at higher altitudes are more conducive to cloud formation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Clouds can form anywhere in the troposphere, and although condensed liquid, they are light enough to float in the air and move from place to place by the wind. Clouds are classified according to appearance and height.

Detailed explanation-5: -The water and ice particles in the clouds we see are simply too small to feel the effects of gravity. As a result, clouds appear to float on air. Clouds are composed primarily of small water droplets and, if it’s cold enough, ice crystals.

Detailed explanation-6: -Why are clouds at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water? Clouds at the top of the troposphere are made of ice crystals because it’s too cold for water.

Detailed explanation-7: -When air rises in the atmosphere it gets cooler and is under less pressure. When air cools, some of the water vapor condenses. As air pressure drops, some water vapor condenses too. The vapor becomes small water droplets and a cloud is formed.
