Which statement correctly explains the difference between water vapour and cloud?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Water vapour is gas while clouds are made of tiny droplets or ice particles

Direct answer: C. Water vapour is water in its gaseous state and is generally invisible. A cloud is a visible collection of extremely small liquid water droplets, ice crystals, or both, suspended in the air. Step by step: surface water evaporates into invisible vapour; when moist air cools and reaches saturation, some vapour condenses or freezes; the resulting tiny particles scatter light and become visible as a cloud. A is wrong because it reverses the usual visibility descriptions: vapour is generally invisible, while clouds are visible. B is wrong because gas and suspended droplets or ice crystals are different physical forms. D is wrong because smoke consists mainly of particles from combustion, whereas clouds are formed from condensed water. A cloud can contain water in different forms, but it should not be described as only water vapour. Memory cue: vapour is invisible gas; cloud is visible condensed water.
