In the water cycle, water vapor evaporates into the atmosphere and forms clouds through condensation. what happens in the atmosphere to the water in order for the clouds to form? a) water drops mix with air pollution to form clouds. b) the evaporated water warms up and moves closer together. c) the evaporated water cools and drops get closer together. d) the sun heats the evaporated water and the water drops move faster.

C)The evaporated water cools and drops get closer together.

Water from the terrestrial or aquatic body sources such as lakes, ponds, rivers and oceans gets evaporated to the atmosphere in the form of water vapor. These vapors being lighter in density reach higher atmospheric layers. The water vapor molecules when aggregate in large amount get condense in the form of rain. The warm water vapor molecules cool down into the droplets of water by surrounding cool atmospheric air.
