What is the molecular state of a cloud?

Solid, Liquid, or Gas?



It looks dense at times, which makes it appear to be solid like...I've always wondered, is it possible to physically touch a cloud? How would it feel like?What is the molecular state of a cloud?
Touching a cloud is like touching fog because it's the same thing. When a cloud is at ground level it's called fog.



Solid, liquid or gas? Could be all three. If it's cold enough water freezes into ice particles or snow. Above freezing temperature water is in the liquid state.



There will be water vapor (gas) mixed in with any cloud but you can't see it. Water in its gaseous state is invisible. Therefore when you see a cloud you're looking at lots of condensed liquid water droplets and/or particles of solid ice.What is the molecular state of a cloud?
A cloud mostly consists of tiny water droplets in liquid state. It contains little vapour in gaseous state and practically no solid matter. Hail and snow solidify once small droplets nucleate around a dust particle and start falling.



If you ever find yourself in a cloud, you would feel as if you were surrounded by thick fog. You cannot physically touch a cloud, just as you can't touch humid air.What is the molecular state of a cloud?
vaporous = gas
it would feel exactly like fog,

mainly because fog is a cloud



it's air, water vapor, and the visable part is miniscule water droplets
