What are the different types of cloud and what do they look like?

There are four main types of clouds ; Stratus, Cumulus, Cumulonimbus, and Cirrus. Stratus means "layer" in latin, and that is what it looks like. It covers most of the sky and brings light rain. Cumulus are the kinds of puffy clouds toddlers draw in pictures. They mean sunny, nice, happy weather. Cumulonimbus clouds mean thunderstorms, and they are often called Thunderheads because of that. Cumulonimus clouds are very tall and puffy. And last but not least, cirrus clouds mean a change in the weather, but they occur on sunny days. Fun Fact: Cirrus means" wisp of hair" in Latin.


Do dark dust clouds radiate mainly in the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Dark dust clouds primarily absorb and scatter visible light, hence appearing dark to us. They do not radiate strongly in the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


What are tall dark clouds that produce thunderstorms?

Tall dark clouds that produce thunderstorms are typically cumulonimbus clouds. These towering clouds form when warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to the condensation of water vapor and the development of strong updrafts. Cumulonimbus clouds are characterized by their anvil-shaped tops and can produce severe weather, including heavy rain, lightning, hail, and tornadoes. Their dark appearance is due to the thickness of the cloud and the large amounts of water droplets within them.
