Cloud

A cloud is a visible mass of condensed water vapor suspended in the atmosphere, typically consisting of tiny water droplets or ice crystals. Clouds form when moist air rises and cools, allowing water vapor to condense. They are classified into various types based on their appearance, altitude, and the processes by which they form, including cumulus, stratus, cirrus, and nimbus. Clouds play a crucial role in the Earth's weather system, influencing precipitation patterns, temperature regulation, and the overall climate. In addition to their meteorological significance, "cloud" is also used in computing to refer to services and storage solutions that are hosted on remote servers accessed via the internet, allowing for data management and processing without reliance on local infrastructure.
