What are the three majors names of the clouds?
The three major clouds are cumulus, stratus, and cirrus. Cumulus are fluffy with flat bottoms. Stratus are formed in layers. Cirrus are 'feathery' clouds. Whenever the word alto is in front of the cloud name (for example, altostrautus), this means the cloud is somewhere in between 2000 and 7000 feet in the atmosphere. Whenever the word nimbo is in front of the cloud name (for example nimbocumulus), it means the cloud is a dark rain cloud.
