Water has different states. Liquid and vapour. It's density as a liquid is much higher than it's density as water vapour. Incidentally, when it transitions from vapour to liquid again, you get rain.

Clouds form when moist air blows upwards. Droplets and humans in the air both fall at terminal velocity. Tiny droplets have large surface area to volume ratios, so their terminal velocity is less than the upward windspeed; humans do not.
