Cloud in a Bottle

Have you ever wondered how clouds form?


Have you ever wondered how clouds form? Clouds are formed when water vapor is cooled enough to form tiny water droplets. This is exactly what happens when moist air rises in the atmosphere, cools, and water droplets form into clouds. Making your own cloud is a popular experiment in many science books, but you should know that the results are not very striking. Yes, you'll see a very faint cloud (very faint), but it's a little tricky.

Very cool! I stumbled upon this myself. in science club we made water rockets for fun and while pumping them full of air, we filled one untill it was nearly impossible to pump more air in and once we picked up the rocket after launch, there was water vapor in it :) very cool

amazing
