The document summarizes common misconceptions that people have about cloud formation and rain formation. It lists beliefs such as clouds coming from above the sky, clouds being made of smoke or cotton, and rain occurring when clouds collide or melt. The document then provides the scientific explanations that clouds form through the condensation of water vapor in the air and that rain occurs when water droplets in clouds become too heavy and fall to the ground.

- 3. ARTICLE • Title: – Mistaken Beliefs About Where Clouds Come From and Why It Rains • Author: – David R. Wetzel
- 4. Misconception About Clouds • Clouds come from somewhere above the sky. • Clouds are mostly smoke, made of cotton or wool, or they are bags of water. • Clouds are sponges that hold water. • Clouds are water vapor. • Clouds are dust particles. • Clouds go to the sea and get filled with water. • The reason clouds form is because cold air doesn’t hold as much water as warm air • Clouds are formed by vapor from kettles • Clouds are made of cotton, wool, or smoke
- 5. MISCONCEPTION ABOUT RAIN • Rain comes from clouds sweating • Rain occurs when clouds are shaken • Rain falls out of the sky when the clouds evaporate. • Rain comes from holes in clouds. • Rain comes from clouds melting. • Rain falls from funnels in the clouds. • Rain occurs because we need it. • Rain occurs when clouds collide. • Rain occurs when clouds become too heavy. • Rain is called by frogs. • Weather is so hot, that’s why it is raining • Cloud is crying. • Rain dance by Native American to call rain.
- 6. SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION FOR CLOUD FORMATION • Cloud formation is dependent upon the amount of water evaporating and condensing. Water molecules are continually changing state between solid, liquid and gas. When more molecules evaporate into the atmosphere than condense on earth, clouds can form. • Cloud Formation.flv
- 7. SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION FOR RAIN FORMATION • Rain occurs when the water droplets are sufficiently heavy to remain airborne they fall from the clouds. • Water and Rain Cycle.flv
