If . the droplets become large enough. , they . may be visible as a cloud or fog. In this file you can learn about the ten main types of cloud and how you could begin to recognise them.. Teacher’s . Notes. Make use of the forward . arrow button to move through the program.. . Special thanks to Malcolm Walker, of the Royal Meteorological Society, for checking this presentation.. By Kelsey Shields. Definition. A cloud is a visible collection of particles of ice or water suspended in the air, usually at an elevation above the earth’s surface.. Different Kinds. There are four different types of clouds families. We then break the four families into ten different genus. They differentiate in the way they look, and the level of height they are at.. 6. th. Grade Science. Clouds. Water from the earth’s surface moves into the air by . EVAPORATION. and becomes . WATER VAPOR.. Clouds are formed when rising air is cooled and the water vapor condenses on particles in the air and forms tiny water droplets.. Cumulus Clouds. Cumulonimbus Clouds. Stratus Clouds. Stratus. Stratus clouds are low sheets of gray clouds that cover the sky. . Nimbostratus. Stratus can change into nimbostratus clouds. These clouds bring periods of rain. Any cloud with “nimb” in its name is a rain cloud. . Cirrus. Feathery or tufted. Looks like horse tails. Are found between 6000 and 12,000 meters. Made of ice crystals. May be followed by rain or snow. Cirrus. Stratus. Means sheets or layers. Flat, gray clouds that cover the whole sky. 23-2. Clouds. Small water droplets or ice crystals that fall through air. Fog is a cloud that forms near the surface. Formation. Solid surface are needed for water vapor to condense on. Troposphere – lower layer of atmosphere. . Cloud project(s) under development at AAD.

BIG SCARY BLANKETS. This picture was taken at my house. It was on 12/7/12 at 5:53pm. These clouds look like STRATUS clouds. That day was dark and gloomy.. BIG SCARY BLANKETS.

Director, Digital Science Center, Pervasive Technology Institute. How is rain made?. The sun has been warming the ground all morning.. The ground warms the air and the temperature rises. The warm air rises.. As the warm air rises, it cools and the water vapour (tiny droplets of water) in the air condenses to form clouds..
