Millard Casais Professional. Why are clouds puffy? Depending on the conditions like temperature and wind that are present during the formation of a cloud, the cloud comes out looking wispy, feathery, curly, lumpy, or puffy!
Clouds form when tiny, light droplets of water float up into the sky and hold on to each other. Piedrasantas Barriel Professional. Are clouds always made of ice crystals? Clouds are always made of ice crystals. Cirrus clouds are low-level clouds that are often thin, wispy, and white. Marzio Oldtmann Professional. What is a cloud made of? A cloud is a large collection of very tiny droplets of water or ice crystals. The droplets are so small and light that they can float in the air.
How are clouds formed? All air contains water, but near the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. Gurjit Portyansky Explainer. Do all clouds produce rain?
For precipitation to form and fall, there must be clouds — precipitation never falls from a clear blue sky. However, not all clouds produce precipitation. Clouds produce rain when tiny droplets of liquid water begin to stick together, forming larger and larger drops. When those drops get heavy enough, they fall as rain. Jamina Torga Explainer. What are dark clouds called?
Florentin Hernamperez Explainer. What are fluffy clouds called? Cumulus clouds look like fluffy , white cotton balls in the sky. Eimantas Silgado Pundit. Is fog a cloud? Fog is a kind of cloud that touches the ground.
Fog forms when the air near the ground cools enough to turn its water vapor into liquid water or ice. There are many different types of fog , too. Ice fog forms when the air near the ground is cold enough to turn the water in fog into ice crystals. Bari Burchardt Pundit. Cumulonimbus clouds — thunder clouds that have built up from cumulus clouds. Their bases are often quite dark.
These clouds can forecast some of the most extreme weather , including heavy rain, hail, snow, thunderstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes. Stratus — dull greyish clouds that stretch across and block the sky. Altocumulus clouds are mid level clouds that are made of water droplets and appear as gray puffy masses. They usually form in groups. If you see altocumulus clouds on a warm, sticky morning, be prepared to see thunderstorms late in the afternoon.

How are clouds formed? All air contains water, but near the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. Which type of clouds give rain? Clouds that produce rain and snow fall into this category.
Nimbostratus clouds bring continuous precipitation that can last for many hours. Is fog a cloud? Fog is a kind of cloud that touches the ground. Fog forms when the air near the ground cools enough to turn its water vapor into liquid water or ice. There are many different types of fog, too. Ice fog forms when the air near the ground is cold enough to turn the water in fog into ice crystals.
