Cloudiness

A cloud is a mass that you see in the sky. It is made up of billions of tiny water droplets that are grouped together. Clouds are formed when water vapor in the atmosphere is cooled and condenses. Different kinds of clouds indicate different types of weather.

Cirrus Clouds

Cirrus clouds appear white and featherlike. They indicate fair to pleasant weather.

Cumulus Clouds

Cumulus clouds look like fluffy balls of cotton. They also indicate fair weather.

Stratus Clouds

Stratus clouds can be seen low in an area and seem to cover the entire sky. They are gray in color and indicate a drizzle or light rain.
