Why are clouds generally fewer in the stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because water vapour is very low there
The correct answer is A. Cloud formation requires sufficient water vapour, cooling, and condensation around suitable particles. The stratosphere is very dry because most atmospheric moisture remains in the troposphere, where evaporation and weather occur. Low moisture therefore limits ordinary cloud formation. Sea breezes are not the governing reason, pressure is not higher than at the surface, and gases do not all become liquids there.
