Clouds  Clouds can usually be seen in the sky everyday.  They come in all shapes and sizes and bring with them all sorts of weather.  A cloud is simply a visible mass of tiny water droplets  Rain develops when growing cloud droplets become too heavy to remain in the cloud and as a result, fall toward the surface as rain.
