8. Why does moving up in the atmosphere typically cause air to lose its water vapor?

Clouds are tiny droplets of liquid water or small ice crystals. ... Because air is cooler at higher altitude in the troposphere, water vapor cools as it rises high in the atmosphere and transforms into water droplets by a process called condensation. The water droplets that form make up clouds.
