Weather Around Us: Clouds and Precipitation

The video explains that walking through fog is like walking through a cloud, as both involve condensation. Condensation is the process where water vapor turns into liquid water, as seen when droplets form on a cold glass. Clouds form when warm moist air rises, cools, and condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. Different types of clouds can produce precipitation, which includes rain, snow, hail, and sleet. Precipitation is a key aspect of weather.
