We received several questions during our session about how clouds form.

Answer: Clouds are created when water vapor, an invisible gas, turns into liquid water droplets. These water droplets form on tiny particles, like dust, that are floating in the air. The NASA Climate Kids website has information on this. The Met Office also has a video about cloud formation.
