water vapour that clusters around dust particles in the air. As it cools it gets heavier than the air supporting it and finally drops as rain.

As this question was posted in Astronomy & Space, do you mean the Large Magellanic Cloud?
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a dwarf galaxy that orbits our own galaxy, the Milky Way. It is at a distance of about fifty kiloparsecs (â160,000 light-years). It has about 1/20 the diameter of our galaxy and 1/10 the number of stars (i.e. about 1010 stars). While somewhat irregular in morphology, it does have some traces of a spiral structure. The NASA Extragalactic Database lists the Hubble sequence type as Irr/SB(s)m.
The LMC may once have been a barred spiral galaxy that was disrupted by the Milky Way to become somewhat irregular. It still contains a central bar structure, and is the fourth largest member of the Local Group, following the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the Milky Way, and the Triangulum Galaxy (M33).
It is visible as a faint object in the night sky of the southern hemisphere, straddling the border between the constellations of Dorado and Mensa.

What are clouds made of?
Cumulus clouds-the puffy, cotton-like clouds that hover close to the ground are made up of billions and billions of tiny water drops. Other clouds like the feathery cirrus clouds that we sometimes see high in the sky are made up of tiny ice crystals.
The water drops and ice crystals are too small to see individually, even with a powerful microscope. But they are just the right size to scatter the light that strikes them, making the clouds appear white.
When the clouds are very thick they are gray on the bottom. Sometimes that means they are rain clouds, meaning the drops of water are bigger. Rain eventually falls when the drops get too big to be held by the rising air that formed the cloud in the first place.

Water, which is hydrogen and oxygen. It evaporates from our oceans, rivers and lakes because of the heat from the sun.

water vapour, caused by evaporation of water, due to heat, it's lighter than air, so it stays afloat, till it gathers in weight and falls as rain
