When the air moves up it gets cooler and cooler. At sufficient hights the air becomes so cool That the vapour present in  it condenses to from drops of water called droplets. It is these tiny droplets that remain floating in air and appear to us as cloud.

8.Question. When does a drought occur?
Answer. It does not rain for on two or year, The soil continues to lose water by  evaporation and transpiration.Since it is not being brought back by rain, The soil becomes dry. The level of water  in ponds and wells of the region goes down and some of them may even dry up. The ground water may also become scarce. This may lead to drought.
