Can cirrus clouds form snow?
Cirrus clouds are high enough to be at a low enough temperature for the water droplets to form into ice crystals. However, Cirrus clouds are not precipitation clouds, so no snow or rain can fall from them. The clouds that can cause snow to fall in the right conditions are Nimbostratus and Cumulonimbus clouds.
Which type of cloud is most likely to cause rain or snow?
There are two main rain/snow making clouds. Nimbostratus, a thick uniformly grey cloud at low heights will cause light to moderate rain or snow to fall over long periods of time. Cumulonimbus, a massive white towering cloud sometimes with the shape of an anvil, with a very dark appearance from below. These clouds will make very heavy rain/snow fall over a short time, often with the presence of lightning. These are the clouds that will make rain and snow
What clouds make rain and snow?
Here are a list of clouds that can make rain and/or snow:Altocumulus - can bring precipitationAltostratus - can bring rain or snowStratocumulus - can bring light rain or drizzleStratus - can bring minor precipitationNimbostratus - can bring constant precipitationCumulonimbus - can bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, or light showersContrary to popular belief, cumulus clouds do not make rain or snow. They can form together to make cumulonimbus clouds that can make rain or snow. Cumulus clouds can be a prediction of heavy weather to come if they appear at certain times of the day.Cumulus clouds are considered the 'fair weather' cloud, as they do not produce rain or snow on their own unless they form together into a cumulonimbus to do so.
What are black clouds in the sky called?
A dark rain cloud is called a nimbus. These clouds produce rain and snow as they are filled with compact and frozen moisture.
What cloud makes snow?
there are no certain clouds that "make" snow, it depends on the wheather. For instance.... evaporation happens, then when the cloud drops the load of water it "could" be snow sleet hail or rain. Like I said it depends on the wheather! 2. Snow bearing clouds (that are actually precipitating) commonly do not have a well defined margin.
How do landforms influence fair weather from cirrus clouds?
landforms do not get damaged from cirrus clouds because the weather is fair. They dont get any rain, snow, hail, sleet, or anything else with cirrus clouds.

What do you have to know when you are a meteorologist?
You have to know types of clouds like cirrus clouds. You also have to know which clouds bring rain and snow, sleet and hail, lightning and thunder. Watch the news and see what meteorologists do!

Where do you suppose clouds get water to make rain?
The puddles from rain evaporates to the clouds and then falls as rain, snow, sleet or hail.. And it just continues.
Do cirrus clouds produce light snow?
Cirrus do not produce precipitation.

What are the four types of clouds?
cumulus, stratus, cirrus, and amoughes, idk how to spell the last 1 :P
What are dark gray clouds called?
Dark gray clouds are typically called nimbostratus clouds. These clouds are thick and can bring prolonged and steady precipitation, such as rain or snow. They often cover the sky like a blanket and are associated with gloomy weather conditions.
What are low clouds that bring rain or snow?
Nimbostratus clouds...
