Where do clouds come from?
Quick Answer
Clouds come from water. Sun warms water in oceans, lakes, and puddles and some turns into invisible vapor. The vapor rises, cools, and becomes tiny droplets. Many tiny droplets together make a cloud.
Why This Story Works for Bedtime

Story Synopsis
Clouds look like soft pillows in the sky, but this story explains that they’re made of water—just in a different form. It starts with sunshine warming water in oceans, lakes, rivers, and puddles. When water warms, tiny bits can lift into the air as invisible water vapor. Higher up, the air is cooler. The vapor cools and changes into tiny droplets (or tiny ice crystals). When many droplets gather together, we see them as a cloud. Miluna keeps the tone gentle and visual, perfect for young listeners. Curiosity stories like this build early science language through calm observation, and they help children feel connected to nature in a peaceful way.
