Have you ever watched a cloud being born? Pick a clear day when just a few white puffs scatter the blue. Try to spot where the faintest patch of cloud is beginning to appear. It'll look at first like the very tip of a cloud is forming. Gradually, your little white smudge might build into dazzling, bright mounds. A cloud has been born! You will soon be able to say which of the ten main types of cloud yours is. Each type has its own special qualities. Each has a part of the sky where it likes to hang out. And each has a fancy Latin name. So, what will your cloud grow up to be?
