6 What are clouds? Clouds are visible accumulations of water droplets or solid ice crystals that float in the Earth's troposphere (the lowest part of the Earth's atmosphere), moving with the wind. From space, clouds are visible as a white veil surrounding the planet.

7 Cloud words and their meaning
Prefixes and Suffixes Used to Describe Clouds: Clouds are defined by both the way they look and how high they are in the atmosphere. For example, cirro (meaning "wisp of hair") is a prefix given to high-altitude clouds (above 20,000 feet). Alto (meaning "high") is a prefix given to mid-altitude clouds (between 6,000 and 20,000 feet). There is no prefix for low-altitude clouds. When clouds are by the ground we call them fog. Nimbo (meaning "rain") as a prefix, or nimbus added as a suffix Cumulo (meaning "heap") refers to piled-up clouds. Strato (meaning "layer") refers to flat, wide, layered clouds.
