Cumulus
This low cloud with a typical base of below 7,000 feet is
a cumulus cloud. These clouds have distinct edges, are
usually white, puffy with a popcorn like appearance.
They have a noticeable vertical development. Cumulus
clouds can be seen isolated as in this picture or grouped
together is clusters. The cumulus cloud as all low clouds
are most often composed of water droplets, but can can
have ice crystals in colder climates.
Stratus
This stratus cloud is the lowest of the low clouds. They
appear as a grey overcast deck, but can be scattered.
Because the stratus cloud is low it too has a base below
7,000 feet and is made of mostly water droplets. The
individual stratus cloud has ill-defined edges compared to
other low clouds.
Cirrus
The high altitude cirrus cloud like the one shown here have
bases above 18,000 feet. They are mostly made of ice
crystals and appear wispy, thin; almost hair-like. Cirrus clouds
generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air
movement at their elevation.
Cumulonimbus
The cumulonimbus cloud is the tallest of all clouds. They
can span all cloud layers and extend to 60,000 feet. These
clouds can produce lightning, thunder, heavy rains, strong
winds, and tornadoes. Cumulonimbus clouds usually have
large anvil-shaped tops because of the stronger winds at
those higher levels of the atmosphere. For the source and more detailed information concerning your request, click on the related links section indicated below.
