How the cloud stays in the same place for the whole day

Lenticular clouds. They look like a stationary cloud parked motionless over a mountain, or just downwind from a mountain, but there’s more activity there than meets the eye. Wind approaching the mountain is forced to climb to get over the summit. As the air climbs into the cooler, lower-pressure region above the mountain, the temperature of the air may drop below the dew point, so water in the air condenses to form a cloud. Then when the air heats back up as it descends the other side of the mountain, those cloud droplets evaporate back into the air. So, in the lenticular cloud, you’re not seeing the same water droplets hanging there for hours, you’re instead seeing new droplets form and old droplets evaporate continuously as the air flows over the mountain. Pretty nifty!
