Clouds
can be funny

The
color of a cloud tells much about what is going on inside
the cloud. Clouds form when relatively warm air containing
water vapor is lighter than its surrounding air and this
causes it to rise. As it rises it cools and the vapor
condenses out of the air as micro-droplets. These tiny
particles of water are relatively densely packed, and
sunlight cannot penetrate far into the cloud before it
is reflected out, giving a cloud its characteristic white
color.
