1.) Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or: a.) snow droplets b.) ice crystals c.) sleet particles.

Clouds! How do they form?. Cirrus Clouds The most common of the high clouds They are composed of ice and are thin, wispy clouds blown in high winds into.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLOUDS By Cydnee Jones 1

10 Basic Cloud Types There are ten different types of clouds ①Cirrus Cloud ②Cirrostratus Cloud ③Cirrocumulus Cloud ④Altostratus Cloud ⑤Altocumulus Cloud ⑥Stratus Cloud ⑦Stratocumulus Cloud ⑧Nimbostratus Cloud ⑨Cumulus Cloud ⑩Cumulonimbus Cloud 2

Cloud Classification In meteorology (study of weather and climate), clouds are divided into 4 groups ①High Level Clouds ②Medium Level Clouds ③Low Level Clouds ④Clouds with Large Vertical Extending 3

High Level Clouds Below is an example of a High Level Cloud. This cloud is called a Cirrocumulus Cloud. 4

Medium Level Clouds Below is an example of a Medium Level Cloud. This cloud is called an Altostratus Cloud. 5

Lowest Level Clouds Below is an example of a Low Level Cloud. This cloud is called a Cumulus Cloud 6

Name that Cloud… 7

Why are clouds Grey? rain clouds are gray instead of white because of their thickness, or height. That is, a cloud gets thicker and denser as it gathers more water droplets and ice crystals — the thicker it gets, the more light it scatters, resulting in less light penetrating all the way through it. 8

Why are clouds white? clouds are white because their water droplets or ice crystals are large enough to scatter the light of the seven wavelengths (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), which combine to produce white light. 9

Thunderstorm Below you will see a transition of clouds in a Thunderstorm in New York City 10

In Conclusion… How many basic clouds are there? What are the four levels clouds are placed in? What is your favorite cloud?? 11
