The main types of clouds are cirrus, cumulus, stratus, and nimbus. These can further be categorized into different variations based on their altitude, appearance, and characteristics.
Clouds are classified into four main categories based on their altitude and appearance: cirrus (high-altitude wispy clouds), cumulus (fluffy clouds with flat bases), stratus (layered clouds covering the sky), and nimbus (dense, dark rain clouds). These categories can further be divided into subcategories based on their specific characteristics and altitude in the atmosphere.
The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.
Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.
