Clouds By Mrs. Hicks

Types of Clouds There are 3 types of clouds: Stratus Cumulus Cirrus

Stratus Clouds These are low clouds that usually bring steady rains, snow, or very cloudy days.

Cumulus Clouds These are fluffy, “cotton ball” clouds and it’s fun to find pictures in these clouds.

Thunderheads These are cumulus clouds that often develop into thunderstorms on very hot, humid days in the summer.

Cirrus Clouds These are very high clouds made of ice crystals, often called “mare’s tails.”
