  Cloudwatching
Clouds are persistent because the maximum droplet size that can be formed is about 200 μm in diameter, which is still colloidal, and because electrostatic forces stabilize the aeosol.
Clouds appear so solid and permanent when seen at a distance that children were told in ancient times that thunder was caused by their collisions.
The condensation nuclei are 50 to 500 nm in diameter, and the cloud particles 100 to 400 nm.
