Finding Out What Clouds Are All About

Cirrus Clouds

Cirrus Clouds Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds blown by high winds into long streamers. They are considered "high clouds" forming above 6000 m (20,000 ft). Cirrus clouds usually move across the sky from west to east. They generally mean fair to pleasant weather.

Altocumulus Clouds

Altocumulus Clouds Altocumulus clouds are middle level clouds that are made of water droplets and appear as gray, puffy masses, sometimes rolled out in parallel waves or bands. The appearance of these clouds on a warm, humid summer morning often means thunderstorms may occur by late afternoon.

Stratus Clouds

Stratus Clouds Stratus clouds are uniform grayish clouds that often cover the entire sky. They resemble fog that does not reach the ground. Usually no precipitation falls from stratus clouds, but sometimes they may drizzle. When a thick fog "lifts," the resulting clouds are low stratus.

Cumulus Clouds

Cumulus Clouds Cumulus clouds are puffy clouds that sometimes look like pieces of floating cotton. The base of each cloud is often flat and may be only 1000 m (330 ft) above the ground. The top of the cloud has rounded towers. When the top of the cumulus resembles the head of a cauliflower, it is called cumulus congestus or towering cumulus. These clouds grow upward, and they can develop into a giant cumulonimbus, which is a thunderstorm cloud.

Assessment Which kind of clouds are are puffy clouds that sometimes look like pieces of cotton? Stratus Clouds Cumulus Clouds Cirrus Clouds Altocumulus Clouds

Answer A, Cumulus clouds are clouds that are puffy and often look like pieces of cotton.
