Answer :

The process of condensation plays an important role in formation of cloud. As water vapour goes higher from the surface of the earth, it gets cooler. When the air moves up, it gets cooler and cooler. At sufficient heights the air becomes so cool that the water vapour present in it condenses to form tiny water droplets. It is these tiny droplets that remain floating in air and appear to us as clouds.
