Types of Clouds Cirrus Clouds Stratus Clouds Cumulus Clouds Cumulonimbus Clouds Altostratus Clouds Altocumlus Clouds Stratocumulus Clouds Cirrocumulus Clouds Take the Quiz Click each picture to learn about 8 different clouds. Return to this menu by clicking the cloud in the bottom right hand corner. After you have looked at all of the cloud types, take the quiz.

Cirrus Clouds Cirrus Clouds are made of ice. These clouds are high clouds. If you see these clouds, it means that nice weather will be coming. By watching the direction of these clouds, you can tell which way the direction of the weather is going. The wind blows these clouds into long strips. Usually appear to be white. Go Back

Stratus Clouds Often cover the entire sky These clouds sometimes resemble fog in the sky These clouds may bring a light drizzle or mist of precipitation Go Back

Cumulus Clouds “Cotton Ball” clouds The base of each of these clouds are flat The tops are rounded These clouds are associated with thunderstorms and heavy precipitation Thunderstorms form when these clouds grow together into a larger single cloud Go Back

Cumulonimbus Clouds Thunderstorm clouds High strong winds may flatten the top of these clouds with an approaching storm Bring heavy storms such as heavy rain, snow and sleet Also brings Lightning and thunder May even present tornadoes Go Back

Altostratus Clouds These clouds are not low nor high but somewhere in the middle Gray or blue gray Made of ice or water droplets Usually will cover the entire sky like a blanket If these clouds are thin in some areas, the sun will shine through Often come before a storm, rain or snow. Go Back

Altocumlus Clouds Gray puffy clouds Made of water droplets Often associated with thunderstorms in combination with humidity These clouds form in groups or clusters Go Back

Stratocumulus Clouds Clouds are very low to the ground Usually appear in a chunk of clouds together Can bring light precipitation May be dark or light gray in color Sometimes can be confused with altocumulus clouds Go Back

Cirrocumulus Clouds Small Clouds Form in lines or rows Said to resemble fish scales in the sky Most common in the winter Appear with cold but clear weather If these clouds appear in a tropical area, this could indicate a hurricane is approaching Go Back

Trivia: What type of Cloud can help to determine the direction of the weather? A. Cirrocumulus Clouds B. Altocumulus Clouds C. Cirrus Clouds D. Cumulus Clouds

Great Try! Good guess! You cannot tell the direction of the weather by looking at Cirrocumulus Clouds! Back to Trivia Question
