Question

Name the different types of clouds.

Answer 1

The different types of clouds are mainly classified into three categories based on their shape and altitude:

1. Cirrus Clouds: These clouds are thin, wispy, and feathery in appearance. They generally form at high altitudes.
2. Cumulus Clouds: These have a fluffy, white, cauliflower-like appearance. They have a flat base and a dome-shaped top. Cumulus clouds typically have a vertical structure and are often referred to as rain-bearing clouds.
3. Stratus Clouds: These clouds have a layered, blanket-like structure, covering the sky in sheets.
