Many things to say about these clouds, but boring are not
one of them. This clouds looks as if
cotton candy or cotton balls have been lifted up in the sky. It can put our
imagination to the test and transform into different animals or shapes. Need an
excuse to go outside? These clouds provide great entertainment for all. They
can also form Cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds are called Cumulus Clouds.
Cumulus Clouds are low level clouds that are formed during diurnal
convection. For when the surface is heated from the sun during the day, Cumulus
clouds can be created. They are formed when warm air from the surface rises, cools,
and the water vapor condenses into a beautiful cloud. They are usually small “puffy”
clouds that are brilliantly white. As
these clouds grow in size, the base can appear darker than the rest. This is because
of light from the sun is scattered when it passes the water droplets within the
cloud. If there is enough moisture and
heat to help the convection, Cumulus clouds may grow into Cumulonimbus clouds
and produce rainfall. Of course Cumulus clouds can be seen in higher levels in
the atmosphere. Altocumulus clouds are mid-level clouds, and cirrocumulus
clouds are high level clouds. Although, no matter what the altitude is, the
cumulus clouds will always remain pleasing to the eyes.
