1. Clouds- large collection of very tiny droplets of water
or ice crystals so small and light that they can float in
the air.
2. Stratus Clouds- form in blanket-like layers. They
hang low in the atmosphere and can be an indicator
of steady rain.
3. Cirrus Clouds- form at high altitudes and are made of
ice crystals. They are thin-looking, wispy clouds,
indicating fair/changing weather.
4. Cumulus Cloud- puffy clouds. They appear flat at the
bottom and they are in the middle of the atmosphere.
Indicate fair weather.
5. Cumulonimbus Clouds- thunderstorm clouds, anvillike shape. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with
heavy precipitation.
6. Fog- a stratus cloud at ground level.
7. Hail- pellets or lumps of ice. Usually falls when it is
warm outside and cold in the atmosphere, in storms.
8. Sleet- precipitation that freezes as it falls through air
that is below freezing in temperature
