They form when warm, moist air rises upward. As the warm air rises, it cools. Cool air can't hold as much water as warm air, so it's like pouring a large glass of water into a smaller one. Except instead of spilling over the glass, the water in the air condenses around dust particles that are floating around. As these droplets build up in the sky, they form a cloud.
#TYPES OF CLOUDE...
Clouds are usually grouped into different types based on their altitude (how high they are in the sky) and their shape. There are ten cloud shapes that fall into four major altitude groups.
High clouds are just what they sound like - clouds that are at high altitudes. These usually form about 6,000 meters in the sky. There are three types of high clouds, all containing the word 'cirrus.' The word 'cirrus' means 'wispy hair' in Latin, and these clouds definitely live up to their name.
Cirrus clouds are thin and wispy, sometimes called 'horse tail' clouds. Cirrocumulus clouds are the big, puffy clouds that look like a big head of curly hair. Cirrostratus clouds are like big sheets of thin clouds covering the sky, and this makes sense because the word 'stratus' means 'sheet-like.' So this last type of cloud is a big, wispy sheet in the sky.
