A cloud is an atmospheric phenomenon consisting of particles of dust along with condensation. Static produced by the particles attracts them to each other, giving clouds form. There are many shapes and sizes of cloud, so many, that like fingerprints, there are no two exactly alike.
Types of Clouds
Clouds are classified and grouped into "Low", "Middle", and "High" clouds, refering to the altitudes they occur at. Low clouds include cumulus, nimbostratus, stratus, and stratocumulus; middle clouds include altocumulus and altostratus; and high clouds include cirrus, cirrocumulus, cumulonimbus and cirrostratus.
