Question
Where and how are clouds formed?

Answer

Unequal heating of landmasses causes the warm/ heated air to rise up. As the warm air rises up it expands and cools down. Warm air can hold water vapour well but cool air is incapable of holding water vapour. So the water vapour condenses on the dust particles already present in air and a tiny droplet is formed around the dust particles thus forming clouds. Clouds are formed in the earth’s Troposphere where weather phenomenon occurs.

Due to heavy rains and speedy winds a tree broke and fell on the road. Two persons from local shops came and begin to remove that broken part of the tree, but in vain as the log was too heavy.
