Clouds (blog 2)

Did you ever wonder how clouds are formed? Well, a cloud is formed when moisture in the air condenses on small particles of dust or other solids in the air. The liquid droplets that form make up a cloud. When you look up at the sky sometimes, you may find the clouds to be different shapes and sizes. Clouds are classified by their basic shape and altitude. The three main types of clouds are cumulus clouds, cirrus clouds, and stratus clouds. Cumulus clouds are clouds that look like piles of cotton balls in the sky. They are white and fluffy and have a flat bottom. Cirrus clouds are clouds that look feathery or fibrous. Usually cirrus clouds form at very high altitudes. Last but not least, stratus clouds are smooth, gray clouds that cover the whole sky and block the sun out. Each cloud is different and is associated with a certain type of weather. The topic about clouds was very interesting and fun to learn about. My opinion is that it was a great topic to learn about while studying weather.
