Assignment: Types of Clouds

The main types of clouds are:
  • Cumulus (meaning "heap" or "pile"): flat on the bottom with big billowy tops
  • Stratus (meaning "layer"): short and spread across great distances
  • Cirrus (meaning "curl of hair"): wispy and thin
  • Nimbus (meaning "rain" or "rainy cloud"): likely to bring precipitation
Instructions: Look at these Cloud Pictures. 
Leave a Comment and Tell me the Name of the Cloud In Each Picture.
