Look at the sky today. What do you see? Maybe you can see beautiful clouds. Clouds have many different shapes and sizes. Some clouds look like big, soft cotton. Others are very thin and white. But how do clouds grow? It starts when warm air goes up into the sky. This air has water inside it. High in the sky, the air is cold. The water in the air becomes very small wet drops. These drops mix with tiny dust. Together, they make a cloud! Clouds can have water, ice, or dust inside. They move across the sky because of the wind. Clouds are very important for our planet.
