    List of cloud types - Wikipedia

    • The list of cloud types groups all genera as high (cirro-, cirrus), middle (alto-), multi-level (nimbo-, cumulo-, cumulus), and low (strato-, stratus). These groupings are determined by the altitude level or levels in the troposphere at which each of the various cloud types is normally found. Small cumulus are commonly grouped with the low clouds because … See more

    What are the different cloud classifications on the cloud chart?
    Some cloud classifications on the Cloud Chart represent the same cloud type in different stages of development or amounts of sky cover. For example, cumulus (Cu) clouds of little vertical extent are classified as a 'Low 1' but are classified as 'Low 2' if there is moderate vertical growth.

    Are all clouds the same?
    All clouds are made up of basically the same thing: water droplets or ice crystals that float in the sky. But all clouds look a little bit different from one another, and sometimes these differences can help us predict a change in the weather. Here’s a list of some of the most common cloud types you might spot in the sky:

    What are the three types of high clouds?
    The three main types of high clouds are cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus. Cirrus clouds are wispy, feathery, and composed entirely of ice crystals. They often are the first sign of an approaching warm front or upper-level jet streak.
