Clouds are a mixture of solids, liquids, and gases. The majority of a cloud is just air (gas), but it also contains tiny water droplets (liquid) and ice crystals (solid). These tiny particles are suspended in the air, giving the cloud its visible form.
Here's a breakdown of the components of a cloud:
- Gas: The air that makes up the majority of the cloud.
- Liquid: Water droplets that form when water vapor in the air condenses.
- Solid: Ice crystals that form when the temperature in the cloud drops below freezing.
Clouds are a fascinating example of how different states of matter can coexist and interact in nature.
