Clouds in the atmosphere of the earth (neglecting smoke and smog) are either water droplets or ice crystals, and some have both. Cumulus and stratus type clouds are water droplets (condensed on some extremely minute particle in the atmosphere), while cirrus type clouds are ice crystals. Cumulonimbus (thunderstorm clouds) are water vapor in the lower, cumulus type, portion, but ice crystals in the upper portion (the anvil, so called). In the tropics clouds can create precipitation from the water droplets alone (because there is so much atmospheric moisture), but in temperate to high latitudes snow forms first, then melts to form rain.

cloud is vibrated water.....it's gas o think..but when a cloud goes to a high level(where it's cold) the opposite of vibration(I don't know the english word for it) happens so the gas turn into water wich is liquid....

Liquid... a cloud is liquid (mostly water) and some ice (semi-solid), in small droplets suspended in air.
