Time for the quiz!Cloud FormationNextBack to OptionsWater droplets form in the airThese droplets combine with particles of dustEnough droplets combine together to form a cloudRainNextBackNormally, the air can hold up the water droplets weight, but sometimes the droplets are too heavy and the air cant support it anymore, so the droplets fall

Fun Fact: It takes about 1 million drops to form an average sized raindropThunderstormsNextBackThunderstorms need three things:MoistureWarm air (unstable air)High air (lift)
