Your Solution:

Types of Clouds

Various kinds of clouds exist. They vary in size, shape, or colour from each other.

They are basically classified into 2 types:

• Based on their shape

• Based on their altitude

Clouds on the basis of there shapes:

• Cirrus

• Cumulus

• Stratus

Cirrus Clouds:

Cirrus is an atmospheric cloud generally characterized by thin, wispy strands. It derives its name from the Latin word cirrus, which means a ringlet or curling lock of hair.

Cumulus Clouds:

Cumulus clouds have flat bases and are as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance. Their name derives from the Latin cumulo-, meaning heap or pile.

Stratus Clouds:

Stratus clouds have a uniform foundation of horizontal layers. The word "stratus" is derived from the Latin prefix "strato-", meaning "layer". The term stratus represents flat, hazy, featureless clouds of low altitude varying in colour from dark grey to white.
