ABSTRACT The formation of liquid droplets and/or solid particles has a significant impact on the thermal, dynamic, and chemical structure of the planetary environments, in which they are formed. For example, the character and distribution of the atmospheric condensates determine the appearance of such objects. It is therefore important to know, which chemical species might condense under the atmospheric conditions of extrasolar planets and how the condensate, solid or maybe liquid, nucleate in detail to finally form cloudy structures in such planetary atmospheres. In this contribution the presence of particles of likely condensates under atmospheric conditions of extrasolar terrestrial planets is discussed. Consequences regarding the condensation of major gaseous constituents of the planetary atmospheres are considered in particular. Selected applications, especially in view of the recently discovered low mass planets - so called Super-Earths -, are presented and compared.
