How do clouds form?

• Liquid water is heated and evaporates and becomes water vapor in the atmosphere.
• Water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses to become tiny liquid water droplets in the atmosphere.
• Tiny liquid water droplets float upwards and gather together in the atmosphere to form a cloud.
