What change in energy occurs as water vapor transforms into the water droplets that form a cloud?

Energy is absorbed from the surrounding air.

Energy is lost from the water vapor as it cools.

Chemical energy is converted into kinetic energy.

There is no change in energy, only a change in state.

Why do the tiny water droplets within a cloud remain floating in the atmosphere instead of immediately falling to the ground?

They are less dense than the surrounding air.

They are so small and light that air currents can support them.

They are held up by the static electricity in the atmosphere.

They are constantly evaporating and reforming at a high altitude.

Clouds are made of air, not water.

Water vapor is an invisible gas, while clouds are visible collections of liquid water.

Clouds are actually composed of a different chemical, not H2O.

Water vapor only exists close to the ground, not high in the atmosphere where clouds form.

It is a large mass of water in its gaseous state.

It is a collection of frozen ice crystals.

It is a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen gas.

It is a suspension of microscopic liquid water droplets.
