Other Clouds General Information Cloud Types Clouds are classified into a system that uses Latin words to describe the appearance of clouds as seen by an observer on the ground. A Student's Project Clouds are masses of water droplets. They are created when water vapor condenses on tiny dust particles.
Water vapor comes from lakes, rivers, oceans and wetlands.
The evaporating water will change into a gas. This gas is now called water vapor. In the air where it is high up, the gas cools and turns back into water. When a cloud gets bigger, the drops of water fall to earth. Here is a reference for all pilots of what to expect from the weather by looking at the clouds.
