Clouds are created when water vapor, an invisible gas, turns into liquid water droplets. These water droplets form on tiny particles, like dust, that are floating in the air. ... These energetic molecules then escape from the liquid water in the form of gas.
- Clouds are made up of very light water droplets or ice crystals. ... The different types of clouds are cumulus, cirrus, stratus and nimbus
- Clouds form when warm wet air rises and condenses in cold air. ... Water droplets in air behave the same way as dust6. The second reason that clouds can float in the air is that there is a constant flow of warm air rising to meet the cloud: the warm air pushes up on the cloud and keeps it afloat.
- Clouds can tell us a lot about what's going on with our weather right now or what might be on the way. Cloud formations like cumulus, cirrus and stratus can tell us a lot about our weather conditions — so you don't really need to be a meteorologist to look at the clouds and come up with a possible forecast
- The list of cloud types groups the main genera as high (cirrus, cirro-), middle (alto-), multi-level (nimbostratus, cumulus, cumulonimbus), and low (stratus, strato-) according to the altitude level or levels at which each cloud is normally found.
- Lightning inside of clouds produces ozone—that's the smell that tells you that a storm is on the way. Ozone is made up of three oxygen atoms, and has sort of a light chlorine smell, says Dalton. Some people might describe it as fresh, others as a little sharp.
