Explanation

• Clouds float in the atmosphere because they are less dense than the surrounding air. Clouds are formed when water vapor in the air condenses into visible liquid droplets or ice crystals. These droplets or crystals are suspended in the air, and because they are less dense than the air, they float.
• The density of a cloud is typically around 0.05-0.5 g/m³, which is much less than the density of air, which is around 1.2 g/m³. This density difference allows clouds to remain suspended in the air, even though they are heavier than air in terms of their mass.
