You got one. Water does indeed evaporate over the oceans. But how do clouds form? What phase change occurs when a vapor turns into a liquid again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@eashmore the clouds are nothing but saturated liquid vapors..it means the water present is in a dual form..some amount of it is in liquid and some in pure vapor..when temperature at heights decrease the vapor form condenses and falls as rain:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mass of the liquid water is so small that they can easily be carried by the winds and vapors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. So not the cloud formation, but the rain. That happens over oceans right?

you want to ask how does rain happens over oceans?
