Clouds are the visible condensed droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere above a planetary body. On Earth clouds are condensed water vapor.
Clouds are categorized as layered or convective: layered clouds are stratus (Latin: stratus=layer),
- cumulus (from Latin accumulate) means piled and refers to clouds that are puffy, mounded or towering;
- Cirro or cirrus prefixes refer to clouds that are in the highest level of the atmosphere, they tend to be wispy;
- alto is for middle layer clouds;
- lower level clouds are called stratus (fog is a stratus cloud in contact with the ground).
• “People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes. All is a miracle.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
