Jun 22, 2022 at 11:02 comment added Roger V. @Dan conditions for clouds existence are necessary but not sufficient for them being separate entities. Also, since this is physics community, it is implied that I am looking for discussion of physical mechanisms, supported by equations and estimates.
Jun 22, 2022 at 10:56 comment added Dan Is this the same as asking, "Why do clouds exist?"?
Jun 21, 2022 at 9:25 comment added Roger V. @Michael +1 What I mean, in more technical sense, is that the clouds are compact entities with larges spaces between them; and they remain stable over long periods of times (hours or days). It is understood that they evolve, and that the thickness of their boundaries is rather large, compared, e.g., to a size of human. The answers also make important distinction between the actual and observed boundaries - but both are real.

Jun 20, 2022 at 9:05 comment added Roger V. A related question: Wu do clouds form in lumps?
Jun 19, 2022 at 22:45 comment added Michael that prevent it from spreading having seen and even made quite a few cloud time lapses in my time, I question where this is really the case. Over longer time scales, depending on atmospheric condition clouds can be quite fluid, and in some cases "evaporate" off the top or sides even as more moisture "condenses" as a replacement.
