- CIRRUS
- Type 1
- CIRROCUMULUS
- Type 2
- CIRROSTRATUS
- Type 3
- CUMULONIMBUS
- Type 4
- A high, atmospheric detached cloud characterized by thin hairlike strands. The name comes from the Latin word for hair.
- NIMBOSTRATUS
- Characterized by thin white sheets made of regularly arranged grains or ripples.
- ALTOCUMULUS
- Characterized by a smooth, transparent sheet covering part or all of the sky. This cloud type can cause a halo around the sun.
- ALTOSTRATUS
- This cloud type has a large vertical length that forms huge mountains. Most of these clouds are flat and spread out at the top, sometimes known as the thunderstorm cloud.
- CUMULONIMBUS
- Mid Altitude
- Grey cloud layer associated with rainfall or snowfall. The layer of cloud is normally thick enough to block out the sun.
- CUMULUS
- Characterized by patches and sheets formed from rounded masses, layers or rolls. They can be diffuse or made of fibers.
- STRATOCUMULUS
- Greyish or bluish sheets which cover all or part of the sky. Unlike Cirrostratus, this cloud type does not cause a halo to form around the sun.
- STRATUS
- This cloud type has a large vertical length that forms huge mountains. Most of these clouds are flat and spread out at the top, sometimes known as the thunderstorm cloud.
- CUMULONIMBUS
- Low Altitude
- Detached, fluffy clouds with clearly defined edges. The bases of these clouds are flat and gray, while the top forms brilliant white bulges that can look like cauliflower.
- Grey or white patches and layers formed by groups of rounded masses. Stratocumulus clouds are normally non-fibrous.
- A low, smooth sheet of grey cloud which is often associated with precipitation. These clouds often block the sun.
- This cloud type has a large vertical length that forms huge mountains. Most of these clouds are flat and spread out at the top, sometimes known as the thunderstorm cloud.
