How clouds form

 Small drops of water turn into a gas called water
  vapor
 Once the vapor reaches a certain altitude the
  cold air causes the water droplets to start to
  stick together.
How Clouds Are Named

 The height at which the cloud is located contributes
  to the naming.
 A clouds shape helps decide between the types of
  clouds.
Types of clouds

 Type 1: High Clouds

 Type 2: Mid Clouds

 Type 3: Low Clouds

 Type 4: Vertically Developed Clouds
High Clouds

 Cirrus

 Cirrocumulus

 Cirrostratus
Cirrus

 Look like feathers.

 First to appear when the skies are clear.

 Shape and movement of the cloud indicates the strength and
   speed of the high altitude winds.

 Don’t produce rain or snow at the Earth’s surface.
Cirrocumulus

 Look like cotton balls unrolled

 Can appear in rows or

 Individually

 Their rippling appearance helps with their identification.
Cirrostratus

 Thin blanket of clouds that covers the sky.
    The clouds are so thin that the moon and sun shine through.

 Form at about 4 miles above the ground

 Signals rain

Cirrus
                Cirrocumulus
Mid Clouds

 Altostratus

 Altocumulus
Altostratus

 Consists of both water droplets and ice crystals

 Cover large amounts of the sky

 “frost” the sky.

 Small amounts of precipitation
    Rain is possible
Altocumulus

 Can be white, grey or both.

 Looks like bubble (foam) in a hot tub

 Easy to mix up with high clouds because sometimes the
  shading is not visible.

Low Clouds

 Stratus

 Stratocumulus

 Nimbostratus
Stratus

 Covers the sky like a blanket on a bed.

 Form horizontally

 Considered to be fog when low and close to the ground.
Stratocumulus

 Grey clouds with dark shading

 Puffy and tall

 Do not produce rain

 The clouds instead form after a rain storm
Nimbostratus

 Dark Grey

 Wet looking clouds
   Related to falling rain and snow

 Allow no sunlight to shine through

Vertically Developed Clouds

 Cumulus

 Cumulonimbus
Cumulus

 Looks similar to cotton wool
 Have shapes sometimes
 Clumps of clouds are spaced out allowing the pretty blue sky
  to shine through.




                                               Looks like a rooster.
Cumulonimbus

 Tall

 Can move into the stratosphere

 Contains both water droplets and ice crystals

 Produce different weather conditions

 Vertical wind can reach high speeds
