Clouds and precipitation

Clouds and Precipitation is a Class 12 Geography topic in the chapter Water in the Atmosphere. Students learn how cooling causes condensation, how humidity and air stability influence cloud formation, and how clouds develop into different forms. The topic explains precipitation as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, and examines the conditions, processes, and patterns that produce it. It also helps students connect atmospheric water with weather observation, regional climate, and the distribution of rainfall.
