As it ascends, it encounters increasingly cold air, which promotes its condensation into countless droplets suspended in the air.
However, to ensure this change of state, cold alone is not sufficient: the water vapor must also encounter a volatile microparticle,

Without their intervention to catalyze the transition from the gaseous state to the liquid state, the water vapor does not condense.
As for the droplets, even though it seems crazy, they will be visible from the surface of the Earth - not individually, of course, but as a whole, because these are what form clouds !
