Weather: Clouds
4th Gr. Science Fluency
You have begun to see that weather is the condition of the
atmosphere at a particular time and place. Much of what you may call
weather is actually part of the water cycle. Some areas of the
atmosphere have more water vapor than other areas. The amount of
water vapor in the air is called humidity. A large amount of water vapor
in the air is high humidity. A small amount of water vapor is low humidity.
Humidity depends partly on the air’s temperature. Warm air can have
more water vapor in it than cold air can. Suppose you’re on an island
near the equator. The air over the island is warm. The humidity is high
because the air contains a lot of water that has evaporated from the
ocean.
Clouds form in air that is relatively high in humidity. As warm air is
forced up, it cools. Some of the water vapor begins to condense on dust
and other particles in the air. As more and more water condenses, a
cloud form. A cloud is basically dust and condensed water.
The water that forms in clouds returns to Earth as precipitation.
Precipitation is water that falls from the atmosphere to Earth’s surface.
