What About Clouds???Cloudsare made of water. A cloud is a large collection of small (actuallytiny) water droplets. Sometimes there are even small bits of ice crystalsmixed in with the water droplets. The droplets are very light, they don'tweigh much at all. Because of this, they float through the air. They are sosmall that about 20,000 of these droplets could fit in an area as small as your big toe! There are so many of these droplets gathered together, thatwe are able to see them in the sky!There are many types of clouds, but we will learn about the three easiesttypes of clouds. Cloud names are fun to say, try it!Cirrusstratuscumulus
