This type of cloud is thin and flat, and the edges are not clearly defined

cirrus cloud

cumulus cloud

cumulonimbus cloud

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
