Types of clouds

 Ever wondered what those different clouds in the sky mean? Here’s a quick guide:

• High Clouds (20,000+ ft): Cirrus, Cirrostratus, Cirrocumulus – thin, wispy, made of ice crystals.

• Middle Clouds (6,500–20,000 ft): Altostratus, Altocumulus – thicker, can block sunlight.

• Low Clouds (surface to 6,500 ft): Stratus, Stratocumulus, Nimbostratus – gray, dense, can bring rain.

• Cumulus & Cumulonimbus span all layers – fluffy or towering, and often signal storms.
