I thought that aeroplane vapour trails were the cause of clouds. I think my mother told me at some point that the stuff that came out of the back of a plane was water vapour, which is what clouds are made from, and I interpreted this to mean that that was how all clouds were made. That and the cooling towers of a power plant near my home. I didn't think it was there specifically to make clouds, I just thought they were a side effect.
