      Water! Or, more specifically, very very tiny ice crystals. There’s quite a lot of very small dust particles in the sky which tiny molecules of water can stick to and freeze, high above our heads. This is the start of a cloud – and when lots of ice crystals start sticking together, it forms a cloud 🙂
