4. Match the following.

5. Answer the following.

a) What is a cloud?

Answer: A cloud is a large mass of water droplets and ice particles.

Or,

Cloud is a large mass of condensed water droplets and ice particles.

b) How does a cloud formed?

Answer: The water vapour due to heat reaches high in the sky and due to condensation it changes into water droplets. The water droplets cling together and formed a cloud.

Or,

Clouds are formed when condenses water droplets cling together.

c) Why does rainfall occur from clouds?

Answer: Rainfall occurs from clouds because of heavy water droplets and if clouds collide at high hills or mountains.
