NASA KSNN How do clouds form?

Rating:
Type: Library or Collection
Subject: Science and Technology
Collection: NASA Kids Science News Network (NASA KSNN)
Grade Level: Primary

Abstract: Clouds form when water evaporates from rivers, ponds, oceans, and lakes. The air containing this evaporated water vapor rises and expands at higher altitudes where the air pressure is lower. The expanding air cools, and as this cooling occurs, the water vapor condenses (changes) from a vapor to a liquid. ... More »
