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.

What is the difference between low level clouds middle level clouds and high level clouds?
All clouds are diffiened into four layers as follows- low level clouds-stratus, stratocumulus,nimbostratus and fog(really low stratus) medium level clouds-altocumulus,altostratus high level clouds-cirrocumulus,cirrostratus and cirrus. many level clouds- these are usually convective clouds like cumulonimbuses. stratocumulus for A+

27 states of the sky used by meteorologist?
The 27 meteorological states of the sky from the World Meteorological Organization Manual of Codes (Number 306, Volume I Part A, Codes 0513, 0515, and 0509) L1 - Cumulus humilis or Cumulus fractus other than of bad weather, or both L2 - Cumulus mediorcris or congestus, with or without Cumulus of species fractus or humilis or Stratocumulus, all having their bases at the same level L3 - Cumulonimbus calvus, with or without Cumulus, Stratocumulus, or Stratus L4 - Stratocumulus cumulogenitus L5 - Stratocumulus other than Stratocumulus cumulogenitus L6 - Stratus nebulosus or Stratus fractus other than of bad weather, or both L7 - Stratus fractus or Cumulus fractus of bad weather, or both (pannus), usually both Altostratus or Nimbostratus L8 - Cumulus and Stratocumulus other than Stratocumulus cumulogenitus, with bases at different levels L9 - Cumulonimbus capillatus (often with an anvil), with or without Cumulonimbus calvue, Cumulus, Stratocumulus, Stratus or pannus M1 - Altostratus translucidus M2 - Altostratus opacus or Nimbostratus M3 - Altocumulus translucidus at a single level M4 - Patches (often lenticular) of Altocumulus translucidus, continually changing and occurring at one or more levels M5 - Altocumulus translucidus in bands, or one or more layers of Altocumulus translucidus or opacus, progressively invading the sky; these Altocumulus clouds generally thicken as a whole M6 - Altocumulus cumulogenitus (or cumulonimbogenitus) M7 - Altocumulus translucidus or opacus in two or more layers, or Altocumulus opacus in a single layer, not progressively invading the sky, or Altocumulus with Altostratus or Nimbostratus M8 - Altocumulus castellanus or floccus M9 - Altocumulus of a chaotic sky, generally at several layers H1 - Cirrus fibratus, sometimes uncinus, not progressively invading the sky H2 - Cirrus spissatus, in patches or entangled sheaves, which usually do not increase and sometimes seem to be the remains of the upper part of a Cumulonimbus; or Cirrus castellanus or floccus H3 - Cirrus spissatus cumulonimbogentius H4 - Cirrus uncinus or fibratus, or both, progressively invading the sky; they generally thicken as a whole H5 - Cirrus (often in bands) and Cirrostratus or Cirrostratus alone, progressively invading the sky; they generally thicken as a whole, but the continuous veil does not reach 45 degress above the horizon H6 - Cirrus (often in bands) and Cirrostratus or Cirrostratus alone, progressively invading the sky; they generally thicken as a whole, but the continuous veil extends more than 45 degress above the horizon, without the sky being totally covered H7 - Cirrostratus covering the whole sky H8 - Cirrostratus not progressively invading the sky and not entirely covering it H9 - Cirrocumulus alone, or Cirrocumulus predominant among the cirriform clouds
Where does Mammatus cloud form?
Mammatus clouds form on the underside of a storm cloud and are most often associated with the anvil cloud that extends from a cumulonimbus. They have also been seen under altocumulus, altostratus, stratocumulus, and cirrus clouds, as well as volcanic ash clouds.
Do high altocumulus clouds cause thunderstorms?
No. Altocumulus do not cause thunderstorms, but altocumulus castellanus can be a sign that thunderstorms will develop later in the day.
What weather does altocumulus make?
If you see an altocumulus clouds in the morning expect thunderstorms by late afternoon.
