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 shape does a fully developed thunder storm look like?

What will an alien look like on Jupiter and why it will look like that?
Science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke wrote the story "A Meeting With Medeusa" in which a human explorer parachuted into Jupiter's cloud tops and inflated a hot air balloon - excuse me, a hot-HYDROGEN balloon - in order to observe the cloud layers of Jupiter's atmosphere. In the story, Jupiter was teeming with life, all suspended within the cloud tops. The story is worth reading.
What is a cloud anvil look like at the top?
A cloud anvil is a dense, flat cloud formation with a broad, anvil-like shape at the top, often associated with severe thunderstorms or cumulonimbus clouds. It typically appears dark and ominous due to its thickness and the presence of precipitation and strong vertical winds in the storm cloud.
