Q. What is the reason among the following, behind the floating of clouds ?
β
Correct Answer: (D)
Low density
Explanation:
Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets and ice crystals. Although water is heavier than air, these droplets are extremely small and are spread over a large volume, making the cloud's average density lower than the surrounding air. Upward air currents also help keep the droplets suspended.
