Why does it rain?

Warm air turns the water from rivers, lakes, and


oceans into water vapor that rises into the air. That
water vapor forms clouds, which contain tiny drops of
water or ice crystals (depending on how high the cloud
is and how cold it is). As clouds rise higher and higher,
the air gets colder and colder. When the water vapor in
the cloud becomes too heavy, it falls back to the
ground as rain or snow.

My Holiday Highlights

The air was crisp, the snow was wickedly white, and
I was skiing fast down the mountain. Way too fast!
'Lookout!' I cried, and the 300 people in the tow
queue straight ahead ducked in fear. My family had
gone skiing for the weekend, but the single lesson I'd
taken that morning had neglected to teach me how to
stop. Now, suddenly, it seemed like the whole
mountain was flashing before my eyes.
