Link to precipitation stage

Condensation stage 1

The water vapour rises as it is warmer than the surrounding air.

Condensation stage 2

Air becomes cooler at high altitudes. This cools the water vapour down which causes it to change state back to a liquid.

Condensation stage 3

The water particles begin to 'stick' to each other, forming clouds of droplets.
