Question

What is the relation between rains and clouds?

Accepted Answer

The water from seas, oceans, ponds, rivers, etc., converts into water vapour due to hot sun by the process called evaporation. Water vapour rises up into the atmosphere. As we move away from the surface of the earth, the air becomes cooler. Hence, when water vapour reaches higher levels it condenses due to contact with cool air and forms small drops or water droplets. These tiny droplets remain floating in the air at higher levels of the atmosphere and appear as clouds.

The clouds moving in the air are generally at higher levels. Sometimes the cool breeze coming along with the air makes the clouds cooler. This leads to water droplets present in the clouds to condense and form large water-drops. Further cooling of clouds increases the size of their water drops and clouds become heavy and descend towards the earth. The colour of such clouds changes from white to grey giving us the feeling of dark clouds gathering. When the size of the water-drops increases further it becomes difficult for the cloud to hold them and water drops begin to fall. This is called "rain".
