Can you catch a cloud in a jar?

Clouds are created through condensation. That's when water vapor turns back into a liquid. By putting the hot air into the jar, we're creating a lot of hot humid air in the container. By cooling down the lid, we're providing a very cool surface at the top of the jar.
