Explanation
A cloud is a group of tiny water droplets or ice crystals floating in the sky. Clouds appear white, grey, or dark depending on the weather. They bring rain, snow, or shade. Clouds are also used in technology: “the cloud” means online storage where information is saved and accessed from anywhere. So, cloud can describe nature (in the sky) or technology (digital storage).
