What is Clouds that look like pictures called?

Clouds! The fact that a cloud "looks like" something is a property of where the viewer is in relation to it. A. To you it looks like something, to someone looking at it from even a mile away it looks completely different. B. To you - now - it looks like something, to you in ten minutes time, still in the same place, it looks completely different. There is no name for this phenomenon..... mainly because the "looks like" is only in our mind. C. To you it looks like something, you tell the person beside you and they can't see the resemblance at all.


Does lightning only occur from cloud to ground?

Double ZapperYes. In fact, visible lightning usually comes up from the ground into the cloud! The lightning bolt is actually retracing a path of weak electricity that the cloud sent down as a sort of "feeler" sensing for the shortest path to take to the ground. So if you're in an open space during a lightning storm, and you feel your hair stand up from static electricity, you might want to run for cover!

What does a heraldic cloud mean?

A heraldic cloud looks something like a piece of old-fashioned ribbon candy, as shown in the picture linked below. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nmfa/Heraldry/cloud.png
