What is the funnel part of the tornado?

The funnel is a condensation cloud the develops in the core of a tornado and is usually the most distinct visible feature of the tornado. It is generally characterized by being wider at the top, where it connects to the cloud base, than at the bottom. In the picture linked below, it is the narrow cone shape stretching from the clouds to the ground.


What are the different shapes and sizes of a tornado?

Common terms describing tornado shape: Rope: a narrow funnel extending from a cloud base, typically winding and bending. Often indicates a weak or dissipating tornado. Elephant trunk: a somewhat thicker variation of an elephant trunk, still inidcating a fairly small tornado. Stovepipe: a vertical column- shaped funnel, often very large. Cone: a large cone of funnel shape significantly wider at cloud base than at ground level. Hourglass: a massive cloud of dust obscures the funnel. Wedge: An extremly large tornado that appears wider than it is tall. These terms are somewhat arbitrary and there is a bit of overlap. What one person calls a wedge another person might call a large stovepipe. Additionally, a tornado will often change shape and size during its time on the ground. Below are links to video examples.
