What does cumulonimbus mean?
a dark cloud filled with electicity: associated with thunderstormsCumulonimbus is a type of tall clouds that are stacked like a mountain. Its names is a combination of the Latin words "cumulo" that means "heap" and "nimbus" that means rain-producing cloud.The term 'cumulonimbus' comes from the combination of two words in the original, classical Latin. The first part of the word, 'cumulo-', comes from the noun 'cumulus', which is 'a heap, mass, or pile'. The second part of the word, 'nimbus', refers to 'a cloud', and most particularly to 'a black rain cloud'. And the description is most accurate, and most appropriate, for the heaped-up rain clouds, or thunderheads, to which the term refers.The suffix "nimbus" or "nimbo" as a prefix for other cloud types means "rain." So you can tell that a Cumulonimbus looks like Cumulus with "nimbus" at the end. Cumulonimbus means a Cumulus rain cloud.
