Question

How are clouds and fog related to precipitation?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Both clouds and fog are closely related to precipitation.

This can be explained first by the formation of clouds and fog, which begin when the air contains water vapor. This water vapor is produced when there is an accumulation of moisture in the enviroment which leads to the formation of clouds. A similar process occurs with the formation of fog, which comes from saturation, that occurs after the evaporation and condensation processes that take place after precipitation (water cycle).

Moreover, some types of clouds (cumulonimbus) are associated with precipitation as they could be accompanied by climatic phenomenon such as rain and snow.
