Are Clouds Made of?

Are Clouds Made of?

A cloud is made of water drops or ice crystals floating in the sky.

Is a cloud a liquid or a gas?

The cloud that you see is a mixture of solids and liquids. The liquid is water and the solids are ice, cloud condensation nuclei and ice condensation nuclei (tiny particulates that water and ice condense on). The invisible part of clouds that you cannot see is water vapor and dry air.

Can you touch a cloud?

Well, the simple answer is yes, but we will get into it. Clouds look like they would be fluffy and fun to play in, but they are actually made of trillions "cloud droplets". ... Nonetheless, if you were to be able to touch a cloud, it wouldn't really feel like anything, just a little wet.
