Cloud types: stratus, cumulus, cirrus, nimbus + strange formations

Are you interested in learning about different kinds of clouds? In this video, I share information on the different types, including cirrus clouds, stratus, nimbus, and cumulus clouds. In addition, we go over hybrid types of clouds as well as some of the less common (and somewhat eerie) types, including lenticular, mammatus, fallstreak holes, virga, asperitas, and shelf clouds. 00:00 Introduction 00:08 What are clouds? 00:30 Cloud classification 00:37 Cirrus clouds 01:30 Cumulus clouds 02:07 Stratus clouds 02:40 Nimbostratus clouds 02:47 Nimbus clouds 03:18 Cumulonimbus clouds 03:55 Chart of the different types of clouds 04:10 Naming clouds, cloud nomenclature 04:46 Cirrocumulus clouds 04:52 Cirrostratus clouds 05:37 Lenticular clouds 05:44 Mammatus clouds 05:51 Fallstreak hole 05:58 Virga clouds 06:02 Cloud shelf or shelf clouds 06:07 Asperitas clouds Clouds are a visible mass of water droplets or ice crystals that are suspended in the Earth's atmosphere. They are formed when water vapor in the air condenses and cools to form tiny droplets or ice crystals that group together to form clouds. Clouds are classified into different types based on their height, shape, and thickness. The classification system used by meteorologists is called the International Cloud Atlas, which includes ten main types of clouds, which are grouped into three main categories: low-level clouds, mid-level clouds, and high clouds.
