"Light, Fluffy clouds" are called cumulus; However, there are different types of cumulus. The smallest formation are called cumulus humilis and they are wider than they are tall. The next biggest formation is called cumulus mediocris and their width and heigth are about the same. Then comes cumulus congestus, they can get pretty big and are usually taller than they are wide. The next stage up is cumulonimbus. They're are many types of cumulonimbus as well. Such as cumulonimbus calvus, cumulonimbus /w/ pileus, and the most mature formation, cumulonimbus incus. (Incus produce the most violet weather.)
