What are all the cloud names?
There are three families of clouds. The families are cirrus, cumulus, and stratus. Types of clouds in the cloud families are: cirrocumulus, cirrostratus, altostratus, altocumulus, nimbostratus, stratocumulus, and cumulonimbus.
What are some common cloud formations?
Some common cloud formations include the cirrus, cirrocumulus, altocumulus, altostratus, cumulonimbus, stratocumulus, stratus, and cumulus. There are many other types as well.
Does altostratus clouds rain?
cirrus clouds cant rain because they are to high the altitude in them is just to much. and the cloud is only ice crystal
At what altitude does an altostratus cloud form?
There are varying numbers for this, but generally, you will find alto stratus clouds between 6,500 feet and 20,000 feet.
Can you name clouds?
Yes. The highest clouds are the cirrus clouds, which are thin, wispy, and white, and there are cirro-cumulus clouds, which are puffy clouds. The middle clouds are the altostratus clouds which blanket the sky. There is also the altocumulus clouds which is also a puffy cloud. Lastly, there is the cumulus cloud which is as well puffy. Finally, we have the lowest clouds. the first one is the stratocumulus cloud which is ALSO puffy. there is the nimbostratus cloud which produces rain. then there is the stratus cloud, also know as fog. Finally there is the cumulonibus cloud, also known as a thunderhead. it has not either a high, middle, or low cloud. it stretches from the high clouds to the low clouds. as you can guess by its name, it produces heavy rain and thunderstorms. There are many clouds with the same features but an easy way to remember them is by the parts of its name: cirro/cirrus- high alto- middle cumulus/cumulo- puffy nimbo/nimbus- produces rain stratus/strato- low

When an observer sees cirrus cloud followed later by cirrostratus and then altostratus he or she is witnessing the spproch of a?
warm front
What type of cloud is fog?
Fog is mostly considered a type of stratus cloud. This is because those clouds are known for being close to the ground.
