undulatus asperatus
Is there a forth type of cloud on the horizon?
Certain conditions must exist for clouds to form – water vapor in the air, temperature change, and particles in the air for the water vapor to condense on. As warm, moist air rises, it begins to cool and condense on dust particles forming water droplets. These water droplets form clouds. They will not fall to Earth because they are too small.
There are three main types of clouds.
- Stratus – meaning layer
- Cumulus – meaning heap
- Cirrus – meaning curl
