 Clouds are large groups of tiny
water droplets (vapor) or ice crystals
that cling to pieces of dust in the
atmosphere.
Clouds are so important to the
earth’s weather that meteorologists
(people who study the weather) also
study the clouds and their movement.
In fact, without clouds, it wouldn't
rain or snow! They come in all
different shapes and sizes. Some are
really low to the ground and some are
way high up in the sky.
 TYPES
OF
CLOUDS
 STRATUS
CLOUDS

Stratus clouds: Stratus clouds are low-lying and often appear as a uniform
layer, covering much of the sky. They are usually gray or white in color
and can produce light precipitation such as drizzle or mist.
- It looks like flat sheets of clouds. These clouds can mean an overcast day
or steady rain. They may stay in one place for several days.
 CUMULUS CLOUDS

Cumulus clouds are the puffy clouds that look like puffs
of cotton. Cumulus clouds that do not get very tall are
indicators of fair weather. If they do grow tall, they can
turn into thunderstorms. The bottom of cumulus clouds
are fairly close to the ground.
 CIRRUS CLOUDS

Cirrus clouds are high feathery clouds. They are

up so high they are actually made of ice
particles. They are indicators of fair weather
when they are scattered in a clear blue sky.
 NIMBUS CLOUDS

Nimbus is another word associated

with clouds. Adding “nimbus” means
precipitation is falling from the cloud.
 CUMULONIMBUS
CLOUDS

Cumulonimbus clouds are the

“thunderheads” that can be seen on a
warm summer day and can bring strong
winds, hail, and rain.
 NIMBOSTRATUS
CLOUDS

Nimbostratus clouds will

bring a long steady rain.
 FOGS

Fog is a cloud on
the ground.
