High Clouds: Middle Clouds: Low Clouds: Cirrus Cirrocumulus Cirrostratus Nimbostratus Altocumulus Cumulus Cumulonimbus Stratus Review Question

High Cloud: Cirrus These clouds are thin and wispy. They appear during good weather. Cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals. Click here to return to main menu Click here to return to main menu

High Cloud: Cirrocumulus These clouds are small, rounded white puffs that are in long rows. They are usually seen in the winter. Although, in tropical regions they may indicate a hurricane approaching They represent cold but fair weather. Click here to return to main menu Click here to return to main menu

High Cloud: Cirrostratus They appear as thin, flat, and sheet-like. These signal that it may rain in the next day or so. These clouds are almost transparent. Click here to return to main menu Click here to return to main menu

Mid Cloud: Nimbostratus These clouds are thin and dark gray. They usually bring rain or snow. These clouds completely block out the sun. Click here to return to main menu Click here to return to main menu

Mid Cloud: Altocumulus These clouds are small, white, and puffy. If seen on a warm and humid morning, there will most likely be thunderstorms in the afternoon. They usually form in groups. Click here to return to main menu Click here to return to main menu

Low Cloud: Cumulus These clouds are white and puffy, they look like cotton balls. They are known as “fair weather clouds.” They can turn into Cumulonimbus clouds. Click here to return to main menu Click here to return to main menu

Low Cloud: Cumulonimbus They cause huge thunderstorms with heavy rain, hail, snow, lightening, and even tornadoes The anvil points in the direction the storm is moving. These clouds are very tall. Click here to return to main menu Click here to return to main menu

Low Cloud: Stratus These are grayish clouds that often cover the entire sky. They look like fog but do not reach the ground. They may produce a light rain or drizzle. Click here to return to main menu Click here to return to main menu
