These clouds stratus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus the condensation event (water vapor changing to liquid water) wherein liquid water. Clouds fog, and dew all have this is common: saturated air: they must have a surface (solid or liquid) upon which the water vapor can condense. Dew droplets form on the ground, vegetation, a car, or similar surface near the ground. Cloud & fog are condensation events wherein the droplets form suspended in the air. They form on solid particles known as condensation nuclei. A condensation nuclei a microscopic particle which is necessary as a surface on which water vapor condenses to form moisture droplets. These can be particles of dust, sea salts, soot, ash, sulfate & nitrate crystals, etc. Cloud a form of condensation best described as a dense, visible aggregation of minute moisture droplets and/or tiny ice crystals.
