46 Why Can the Clouds Move?

Some clouds in the sky are higher and thiner and some are lower and thicker. They are in all shapes. They float in the sky as if they are moving back and forth.

Why do the clouds move?

We have already learned that when water evaporates into the sky, they become countless drops of water or ice as the temperature drops. Supported by the rising air current, they float in the air and become the clouds that we see in the sky.

The air around us flows up and down and back and forth all the time. Sometimes when we don't feel the blowing of wind, we feel as if the air is still. But actually, high up in the sky the air flows very fast and it pushes the clouds forward. That's why we see clouds moving in the sky.
