Worked Solution

Step 1: Warm water vapour rises from the Earth's surface. Step 2: As it rises higher into the atmosphere, the temperature decreases. Step 3: The cooler temperatures cause the water vapour to condense into tiny liquid water droplets, which cluster together to form clouds.

Correct answer: Water vapour condenses into tiny water droplets when it reaches the cooler upper atmosphere.
