Answer:
1.Atmospheric condition at a specific time at a particular place are referred to as weather whereas Climate is that which remains constant in a region for a long duration.
2.Clouds are formed when water vapour rises high up into the air. When it reachescold airthe water vapour turns back into the tiny dropletsof water. Those tiny droplets of water floating in the air collect and stick together up in the sky.Clouds are hust lots of drops of water stuck together. When clouds are so full of water droplets that they xant hold any more, the water comes back to the ground as rain.
3.The four main stages of water cycle are evaporation,condensation,percipitation and collection.
4.Hail are formed when raindrops are carried upward by thunderstorms updrafts into extremely cold areasof the atmosphere and freeze.Hail then grow by colliding with liquid water drops that freezeonto the hailstorm's surface.
5.Climate of a place depend on altitude of that place and distance from the sea.
6.India hosts two climatic subtypes-tropical monsoon climate,tropical wet and dry climate.
7.On the humid daythe air is full of water vapour, Hence,evaporation is very slow.Thus is the reason why wet clothes take longer to dry on a humid days.
