answ2. A cumulus cloud that reaches to great heights will eventually encounter air cold enough to freeze the moisture.
[Some of the energy is absorbed by the 'latent heat of fusion' which is when the vapour condenses as liquid water. A smaller quantum of energy is similarly stored as 'latent heat of freezing'.]
This temperature gradient will cause vigorous vertical circulation, and will create and store electric charge on some regions.
Sometimes the upper layers of the cloud reach a strong cross wind, and in this case, the cloud top will assume the shape of an anvil, and are so called.
Cumulus clouds tend to have well defined edges, and have fluffy shapes.

What did our sun look like before it was a star?
The Sun (and all the planets) started their lives in a giant cloud of cold molecular gas and dust. And then about 4.6 billion years ago, something bumped into the cloud, like the gravity from a passing star, or shockwaves from a supernova, causing the cloud to collapse. With the collapse, the mutual gravity from the particles in the cloud pulled together, and formed pockets of denser material in the cloud. These were star forming regions, and one of them was to become the Solar System.
