I'm thinking like a cloud of smoke rising, There are white and some black. White indicates that the day was bright and black means the day will be cloudy or rainy. Which makes me question is how clouds are formed. confused

Very interesting question. Luckily I watch education cartoons in the morning. Well my daughter does, but I'm sitting right here in the same room, so I can't help but to hear and see what's going on.

I've never really known how clouds formed until I seen it on this one particular cartoon show. I think I remember something about the heat from the sun plays a part in causing the water in seas,oceans and rivers to evaporate into water vapors, which are formed into clouds in the sky.

This is pretty cool. The white clouds don't give rain because they don't carry enough water vapors as the dark clouds that does pour out rain.

Yes it was very cool especially under a full moon because I look at the clouds covered the moon and move into all sorts of directions. View of the carton may be a characteristic like that in the capture of the real picture and has the truth test. Some say the water evaporates from the heat and fly to the top and become the cloud.

Clouds form from water dissolved in the air. At certain temperatures, the air can hold no more water vapour, so it condenses into droplets of water so small that they can still be suspended in the air. Each of these tiny droplets catch and disperse the light from the sun (or the moon) and they appear to us as 'white'.

Sometimes these tiny droplets come together and form larger droplets. Then the clouds become heavy and dense and cast shadows on the cloud below, causing grey or black clouds. When the droplets of water get large enough, they can no longer be supported by the air and they fall as rain.

Clouds are just one part of a very mysterious and marvellous process where water is drawn up from the seas and lakes invisibly, turned into water droplets (as mist or cloud) and eventually returned to earth as rain which makes the rivers flow and feeds the oceans ... which give up their moisture to the air and so on!
