Water droplets are tiny balls of water that you can see when you look at a rain cloud or on your window after it rains.
Imagine you have a glass of water, and you pour it into a small cup, the water fills up the cup. Now imagine that cup is super tiny, like the size of a grain of sand. That’s almost like a water droplet!
How do they form?
When the air gets full of moisture, which is like invisible water vapor, it can turn into little water droplets. It's like when you breathe onto a cold window, your warm breath turns into tiny droplets that you can see on the glass.
What do they look like?
They’re like the tiny bubbles in a soda bottle, except instead of air, they're filled with water! You might even see them falling from the sky as rain or hanging on leaves after a shower.
