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.

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.

Now Earth witness to this, and the wide sky stretching above us,
so too the water of Styx, down-flowing; for this is the greatest
oath and the oath most dreadful among us blessèd immortals:
surely forever will be right here on this island the fragrant
altar and precinct of Phoibos; and you above all will he honor.
