Clouds form when water vapor condenses (changes from a vapor to a liquid) around condensation particles (such as dirt, dust, and smoke).
It comes from the earth's rivers, lakes, oceans, and glaciers.

Clouds:
Look up into the sky on most days and you may see clouds.
Clouds are made when air is cooled to a temperature where water in the air becomes visible. This temperature is called the dewpoint.
Dust is also needed to form clouds.
The water condenses on the tiny specs; just like the mist in your bathroom condenses on your shower curtain.
As you go higher in the atmosphere, the cooler the temperature gets.
Sometimes clouds are formed because moist air is forced upward over mountains.
When the clouds get too heavy they burst and it comes down as rain.

From evaporation. When you get out of the swimming pool wet, you walk around a few minutes and you're nice and dry. The water on your skin, on wet clothes, on the surface of the pool itself is being drawn into the air. When conditions are right, the water stored in the clouds as vapor condences back into water. There's your rain. It's the same water over and over. Of course the clouds move, so you might be getting water that evaporated hundreds or even thousands of miles away.

Clouds get WATER from water vapor that is evaporated from lakes, puddles, rivers, a boiling pot of water in the kitchen and the ocean. Clouds do not get rain though...it releases rain.

From the Force. Clouds ARE condensed moisture, silly rabbit. When the atmosphere won't support a cloud anymore, it falls out of the sky. AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. (rain)

They rain out with the objective to communicate. they are in a position to purely carry lots moisture, in the previous it falls as rain. as quickly as the heave mositure is lengthy gone, what's left of the cloud strikes on till it lower back grow to be great saturated and rain falls.

Clouds are an accumulation of evaporated sea water.

come on man! they taught this **** in 4th grade.
its called evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. google or yahoo "the water cycle" remember that ? they taught it to everyone. we all made little projects with cotton clouds. jesus ,
