Cloud Info:

A cloud is a visible mass of condensed water droplets suspended in the atmosphere above Earth's surface.

Clouds are divided into two general categories, stratus clouds (or stratiform, the Latin stratus means layer) and cumulus clouds (or cumiloform, cumulus means piled up). These two cloud types are divided into four more groups that distinguish the cloud's altitude.
