dew point – the temperature at which condensations begins
dew – moisture that forms on the ground
fog – clouds that form near or on the ground
fog is formed when the ground cools at night after a warm humid day. The ground is the same temperature as the dew point.

3. WATER CYCLE & CLOUDS First, water evaporates
Then water in the atmosphere begins to condense to form clouds
Some clouds will eventually precipitate

4. HOW DO CLOUDS FORM?
Clouds form when water vapor in the air becomes liquid water or ice crystals.
Water condenses on small particles or dust suspended in the air to form a cloud
