Water vapour. Air can only hold so much moisture before becoming saturated. The hotter the air, the more moisture it can hold (one of the reasons you don't see too many clouds in Phoenix AZ). If the air is holding a high amount of moisture and it is cooled, clouds form. Also increasing heat makes them disappear (like fog being burned off by the sun), but the moisture is still there.

Clouds are marshmallows in the sky...jk ( that's what my mom told me when I was little). Actually, a cloud is water moisture. The water from the ocean, rivers, ect, evaporate because of the sun (just a little bit of water) and it mounds up into clouds, then it rains and it starts all over again.

I'm no science major but what I understand is that the pressure increases the further you go away from the earth thus causing the moisture in the air to condense thus causing clouds
