Clouds are composed of minute water droplets and/or tiny ice crystals. They are like fog. It takes about a million water droplets to make a raindrop - which gives you some idea of how small and light they are. Rising air, which caused the clouds to form, easily supports the droplets. They are, in fact falling due to gravity but air movement is stronger than gravity in something that small. As the water droplets coalesce into raindrops, they get larger until they are too heavy to be supported by the air and they fall as rain.
Clouds are not "full of water vapour". Water vapour is a gas - the gaseous form of water. The air in a cloud in between the water droplets will contain water vapour and the relative humidity of the air will be 100% but it is not the water vapour but the liquid water droplets that makes the cloud.

Gravity isn't precisely a pull. On that note your question has advantage. that's the Gravity skill that manifests itself as pressure of area. it really is that pressure that motives the pressure of the ambience on earth. the skill that's inherent in the Substance of area is what motives all action and has a tendency to deliver at the same time products that are aside into one assembly. that's the reason why atoms in a textile do not fly aside.that's the Gravitational phenomenon that retains it into one lump. It also save the picture voltaic gadget into one gadget assembly. The sunlight and the Earth and the Moon do not carry on no longer something. They actually stay in a Substance that at one time replaced into called "Aether". for this reason, we stay in the fluid of area analogous to an identical way that a fish lives in a fluid called "water". Einstein indicated that gravity replaced right into a disturbance of area- Time. although ;Time isn't extremely easily defined and Einstein not in any respect particularly gave an entire clarification of what area particularly is. Quantum mechanics in elementary words dealt with skill quanta. yet might want to no longer marry Einstein Relativity of The Gravitational phenomenon with Quantum mechanics theory. for this reason both theories disagreed with one yet another. Your question is very intuitive. it really is real that the global of technological know-how continues to be at a loss to instruct precisely what the mechanism of Gravity particularly is.

Actually- moist air weighs less than dry air.
In addition to some of the other correct answers-
Also, when clouds form, you get a latent heat of vaporization (the opposite effect occurs when water evaporates and feels cool), which warms the air and it then rises. So, the water vapor will rise with the warm air around it that it created.

Because clouds are not filled with rain, they are filled with water vapor. Once the vapor turns to water, due to the change in barometric pressure and temerature, the water falls, in the form of drops of rain.

In a manner of speaking, they do, in the form of rain:)

because the water droplets are so small there lighter than air!

the raindrops fall don't they?

They do...it is called...."rain"
