Clouds are created when water vapor turns into water droplets. Water droplets are tiny particles that float in the air.

Cumulus - Fluffy clouds that have flat bases
Cirrus - Short detached hair like clouds that are found at high altitudes
Nimbus - Cloud that has rain or snow falling from it
Stratus - Flat featureless clouds that are found at low altitudes
