Question 5

Cloud formation

Answer 5

Visible mass droplets of water or ice crystals held in atmosphere. Form;
Air is saturated because it’s cooled below dew point or maximum holding capacity of of water.
Condensation Nuclei must be present

More moisture in the cooling air greater condensation and cloud formation
