Always keep in mind that every breath you take

without difficulty is a reason to be grateful to Allah.

That is because, if Allah did not so will it, there would
be neither atmosphere nor oxygen.

CLOUDS THAT DRIFT
CLOUDS THAT DRIFT

When we look at the sky, we see white or grey

clouds that look like lumps of cotton-wool. Sometimes

we think they resemble some other objects, don't we?

Have you ever thought how clouds come into exis-

90 tence? Now, let's see how.

Every day, the Sun's heat causes water on the

Earth's surface to evaporate. This form of water exist-
ing in the air is called "water vapour". Air coming clos-

er to the ground grows warm. Warm air rises, and on

its way it carries the water vapour to higher altitudes.

At high altitudes, the water vapour inside the warm

air encounters cool air and thus turns into tiny water

droplets and forms clouds.

Water evaporating from oceans rich in salt and

lakes with a high mineral content carries these salt

particles upward to higher altitudes. These particles of
salt are so tiny that they are invisible to the naked eye.
