What role do clouds play in weather?

Back

Clouds form when water vapor condenses and can lead to precipitation.

Front

What is humidity?

Back

The amount of water vapor present in the air.

Front

Back

Higher temperatures increase evaporation rates, leading to more water vapor in the atmosphere.
