Warm Air Makes a Cloud
Open to everyone until Tuesday, September 29
To keep it, print it while it is open.
The sun warms a lake and a field, and warm, wet air floats upward. High up the air gets cold, and the water in it turns into tiny droplets that make a cloud.
In the picture
- The sun: warm sunlight heating the water and the ground.
- A rising wavy arrow: warm, moist air climbing from the warmed surface.
- A droplet high in the cloud: water vapour turning into a tiny droplet in the cold.
Examples
- Steam rising from a hot bath and fogging the mirror.
- A cold drink can turning wet on a warm day.
Key takeaways
- Warm, moist air rises and cools as it goes higher.
- Cold air turns water vapour into tiny droplets, and clouds are made of those droplets.
