There are four main types of clouds ; Stratus, Cumulus, Cumulonimbus, and Cirrus. Stratus means "layer" in latin, and that is what it looks like. It covers most of the sky and brings light rain. Cumulus are the kinds of puffy clouds toddlers draw in pictures. They mean sunny, nice, happy weather. Cumulonimbus clouds mean thunderstorms, and they are often called Thunderheads because of that. Cumulonimus clouds are very tall and puffy. And last but not least, cirrus clouds mean a change in the weather, but they occur on sunny days. Fun Fact: Cirrus means" wisp of hair" in Latin.

∙ 11y agoThere are many different types of clouds but the main types would be: Cirrus, stratus, cumulus, cumulonimbus, cirrocumulus, cirrostratus, and nimbostratus.
Cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds are both big and puffy. The difference is that cumulonnimbus clouds have dark bottoms and usually indicate stormy weather. Cumulus clouds indicate good weather.
Stratus clouds are low gray clouds that form a blanket over the sky. And cirrus clouds are high clouds made of ice crystals.
I hope this helps!
