Why doesn't cloud formation take place until the dew-point temperature is reached?

• because dew-point is the temperature at which water vapor condenses into water droplets

• cloud formation can take place at any temperature, and does not depend on the dew-point temerature

• because water sublimates at the dew-point temperature

• the dew-point temperature only applies on Earth's surface, not in the atmosphere

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.
