The sun warms the land and sea and the water evaporates into the air. and sea and the water evaporates into the air. The warm air can hold a lot of water vapor. As The warm air can hold a lot of water vapor. As the air rises, it cools. That means it can hold the air rises, it cools. That means it can hold less water vapor. Then as warm meets cold, less water vapor. Then as warm meets cold, condensation takes place and the vapor forms condensation takes place and the vapor forms droplets, and clouds form.
