There are two main types: stratus (flat layer) clouds and cumulus (tall bubbly) clouds.
As well as the two main types, high clouds are called Cirrus. Middle-level clouds are Alto. Rain clouds have Nimbus attached to them.
So:
Low-level clouds are
Stratus, Cumulus, Cumulonimbus and Stratocumulus.
Middle-level clouds are
Altostratus and Altocumulus
High-level clouds are:
Cirrus, Cirrostratus and Cirrocumulus.
A cloud that grows from low-level, through middle-level up to high-level, is called Nimbostratus and this deep cloud can bring heavy rain or snow that can last for several hours.
