When people run around and around in circles we say they are crazy. When planets do it we say they are orbiting.
To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists solutions are things that are still all mixed up

I am not sure how clouds get formed. But the clouds know how to do it, and that is the important thing.
Water vapor gets together in a cloud. When it is big enough to be called a drop, it does.
But my ultimate favorite:
