5.2. If a cloud gets thick or high enough all the light above does not make it through, which is why the clouds look dark and grey

5.2.1. Define actions as necessary

8. Why do clouds float?

8.1. A cloud is made up of water droplets and is formed when air is heated by the sun

8.1.1. Dependencies

8.1.2. Milestones

8.2. As heat rises water condenses which forms a cloud

8.2.1. Schedule

8.2.2. Budget

8.3. The cloud and the air that the cloud is made of needs to be warmer than the air outside of the cloud in order to float
