Clouds and Skies

Clouds are collections of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the Earth's atmosphere. They form when moist air rises, cools, and condenses around particles like dust. Clouds vary in shape, size, and altitude, influencing weather patterns—such as bringing rain or snow. Skies refer to the expanse of the atmosphere visible from the ground, often appearing blue due to sunlight scattering. During the day, the sky is typically bright blue, while at night, it’s dark with stars. Clouds and skies together shape our weather and aesthetic environment, acting as dynamic elements of Earth's climate system.
