Why are clouds white?

• Because water vapour turns into water when it meets cold surfaces.

• Because the uneven heating of the earth's atmosphere.

• Because the water droplets and ice crystals are large enough to scatter the light of the seven wavelengths.

• Because when the clouds get thick enough or high enough all the light do not pass through.

Why do clouds turn gray?

• Because water droplets and ice crystals are large enough to scatter the light of the seven wavelengths.

• Because the clouds get thick enough or high enough that all the light does not pass through.

• Because water vapour turns into water when it meets cold surfaces.

• Because of the uneven heating of the earth's atmosphere.
