atmospheric moisture and precipitation quiz complete 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 which condition is necessary for water droplets to condense and form clouds? dry air ice crystals in air tiny particles in air rising temperatures
To form clouds, water vapor condenses onto condensation nuclei. Tiny particles in air (like dust, salt, etc.) act as these nuclei. Dry air doesn't help condensation (needs moisture), ice crystals are part of some clouds but not a necessary condition for condensation start, and rising temperatures reduce condensation (cooling is needed). So tiny particles in air are necessary.
