way to make clouds?

is there a way to make clouds in Powertoy? In real life it would be an area of small water droplets or ice particals, in the middle of the atmosphere but when you put water in powdertoy it falls, and watervapor condenses instantly, unless you REALLY (I don't think there's dew point in powdertoy). Im new to powder toy, is there any way to make "realistic" clouds?
The steam only condenses when in oxygen, probably because the oxygen cools it down to a point of condensing. But is there a way to change that condensing point?
I don't think powder toy has physics or realistic weather like this though.
edit: is there a mod or a way to make convection currents?

The physics in TPT are just not cut out for something as relatively complicated as clouds, so I don't think it's possible to make clouds realistic in the sense that their in-game physics is correct. My limited understanding of clouds suggests that you'd need at least two more features for this to work: expansion and cooling of gasses capable of convection (our air sim doesn't have this), and water particles with much lower mass (even if the mass property had the range for this, it'd be confusing to have certain water particles be heavier than others).

True, weather and clouds are complicated. I did find a way to make some form of movement whilst waiting:
I had LN2 on the top making it cold on the top, and fire on the bottom transmitting hot air. This caused a rain like effect (water heating up and evaporating on the bottom, then rising. After that it cools and condenses and falls). Though usually the water would evaporate from like a lake, then condense in the atmosphere, and stay there.
This is due to water being denser than vapor instead of convection, not different densities with one fluid. Thanks for responding!

There's a way to make clouds,using water vapor for that

Aproximately 3 years ago, I created a save that has near-perfect cloud mimics. id:2449098

there is another unrealistic way to make rain: put some CO2 in a container of LIQUID WALL, then set the ctype of the CO2 to stne

What does CO2(STNE)<---Carbon dioxide with stone ctype?
