Question
How are clouds formed?

Solution
Clouds are formed by an enormous collection of tiny droplets that are formed by the condensation of water vapours in the air. Water vapours are condensed when dust and other suspended particles of the air act as a nucleus for them. These particles condense the vapours into tiny water droplets.
