A large, white, fluffy cloud that generally appears during fair weather, although they also form thunderheads on hot days, and some can carry rain. (These are what children always draw when asked to draw a cloud.) Appear at roughly 6500 to 20000 feet. Composed mainly of water droplets. I read it goodly
Cumulus clouds are the common clouds that look like puffy balls of cotton, and may be well-defined within open sky. In unstable air, they can become very tall and may lead to the formation of thunderclouds (cumulonimbus).
A cumulus cloud is one of the three basic cloud forms (the others are cirrus and stratus). It is also one of the two low cloud types, a cloud that develops in a vertical direction from the base (bottom) up. It has a flat base and dome- or cauliflower-shaped upper surfaces. The base of the cloud is often no more than 3,000 feet above the ground, but the top often varies in height. Small, separate cumulus are associated with fair weather (cumulus humilis). With additional heating from the earth's surface, clouds can grow vertically throughout the day. The top of such a cloud can easily reach 20,000 feet or more into the troposphere. Under certain atmospheric conditions, these clouds can develop into larger clouds, known as towering cumulus (cumulus congestus), and may produce a rain shower. Further development may create a cumulonimbus, or thunderstorm cloud.
Cumulus clouds are formed by convection and are generally found between 3000-7000 feet in the summer, but as low as 700 feet in the winter. They consist of of water droplets which are cooled but above the freezing level.
Cumulonimbus is a type of cumulus cloud. They can be very large and are associated with heavy raining and thunderstorms.

Cumulus clouds are puffy clouds that sometimes looks like pieces of floating cotton.
Cumulonimbus (Cb) is a type of cloud that is tall, dense, and involved in thunderstorms and other intense weather. See http://en.wikipedia.org.
its a big flufy ball of luv :)
generic fluffy cloud.
Fluffy
1) Cumulus clouds are vertically developed clouds. 2) Cumulus clouds have a flat base, which is the location of the lifting condensation level. 3) Cumulus clouds can develop into cumulonimbus clouds. 4) Cumulus clouds have a lifetime of less than an hour.
The closest clouds is cumulus clouds
They could be seagulls, or snowflakes, or clouds.
Cumulus clouds are high to mid level clouds

Cumulus clouds are the pig puffy white clouds.
Cumulus clouds are puffy, billowing clouds rather than stratified, and can exist as well-defined within a mass of otherwise clear air. Rapid heating can cause towering cumulus clouds or may create the related forms known as cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds.
No. Cumulus clouds are fair-weather clouds most of the time. Storm clouds are cumulonimbus.
Cumulus clouds form when warm air rises, expands, and cools. Cumulus clouds are masses of puffy white clouds that usually have thunderstorms following them. Cumulus clouds are one of the 3 types of main clouds. The 3 main types of clouds are stratus, cumulus, and cirrus.

Yes, Cumulus clouds have flat bottoms.
cumulus clouds contain good weather or rain
Depends which type of cumulus.... cumulonimbus is thunderstorm clouds, regular cumulus clouds are the white puffy clouds that have no precipitation
Cumulonimbus clouds do start off as cumulus. In most cases, though, cumulus clouds signal fair weather ad do not become cumulonimbus.
