Yuter. , Matthew Miller, David . Second Grade Science. By: Christy Gibson . Clouds. A . cloud is composed of tiny water droplets (or ice crystals) that are suspended in the air. . If . the droplets become large enough. , they . may be visible as a cloud or fog. By:Genny. Cirrus Clouds. The Cirrus clouds are very high in the sky. They are also thin, high, and wispy. If you see a Cirrus you will have fair weather. Cirrus also made of ice crystals.. Stratus Clouds. What is a cloud?. A cloud is a group of water droplets in the atmosphere.. The water vapor condenses during the water cycle to form clouds.. Cirrus Clouds. They are the highest clouds.. They look thin, wispy, or feathery.. Rain . Sleet . Snow . Hail . Rain notes for Teacher. “Rain . makes the grass green . and your . garden grow. . When the air holds lots of water droplets, clouds form. If a lot of water droplets gather in the clouds, the clouds become heavy. Gravity causes the water droplets to fall as rain. . 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.. Florent. . Brient. , . Tapio. Schneider, . Zhihong.

Layered but puffy clouds at lower to mid elevations. Cumulus Clouds. Altocumulus. Thick puffy clouds that can be found at middle elevations. Cumulus Clouds. Cirrocumulus. 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. . Chris Jones . Department of Applied Math. Advisor: Chris Bretherton. Departments of Applied Math and Atmospheric Sciences.
