Clouds are actually made up of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air, and they don't fall to the ground because:
- Buoyancy, The water droplets or ice crystals in clouds are tiny and spread out, making them buoyant in the air.
- Updrafts
Rising air currents, like those found in convection currents or near weather fronts, help keep clouds suspended.
- Air resistance, The air provides enough resistance to slow down the fall of cloud droplets, keeping them aloft.

In the absence of power, clouds fall, but usually evaporate before reaching the ground.

Clouds do not fall to the ground because they are lighter than air.

There are several reasons clouds float: first, the droplets in a cloud are small. Very small. An average water droplet in a cloud may only be 20 micrometers across. That is half as wide as a typical human hair, and about the same size across as a particle of dust. Even though dust is heavier than the air around it, a dust particle is so small that it can float in the air for a long time before falling. Water droplets in air behave the same way as dust6.The second reason is that there is a constant flow of warm air rising to meet the cloud: the warm air pushes up on the cloud and keeps it afloat.
Clouds stay warmer than the air around them because they absorb the sun's energy better than the surrounding air. Clouds don't float forever,if the surrounding air warms up, then the air is able to contain the cloud's moisture as vapor, and the cloud will condence to form rain.

It is true because in the process of falling down to the gtounf the more comes down the more ig vapourises therefore it cant reac the ground.

Yessss my dia they could have fallen if they wasn't lighter than air but since they r, that's y the try r kept in the possision

Clouds for sure are maintained by updrafts and so Liter than air that is why we are not able to make it stop evaporation

It is true clouds are lighter than air and less dense so they
Don't fall and remain above air ,when clouds condense they become heavy and fall as rain,

The updrafts keep the clouds from crashing to the ground. In the absence of power, clouds fall, but usually evaporate before reaching the ground.
