Condensation. Although it sort of makes more sense to say that the cloud froze as the water vapor in the air forms ice crystals on dust and airborne bacteria rather that water vapor in the air forming a liquid.

There is no general name for 'cloud' but there are different scientific names for different types of clouds, such as :

alto, meaning middle and thus in the middle height of our atmosphere

Stratus, meaning sheet and layer like clouds

currulus meaning heap, usually looks like bunnies or castles in the sky

cirrus, meaning curl, lock of hair

numbus meaning rain.

you could also check a latin conversion site but it wouldn't be really the scientific name, but it would be the latin name for a cloud, which might be the scientific name...

The Latin name for cloud would be the scientific name for them.
