Clouds come in ten main types, from the fluffy cumulus to the wispy cirrus with flat, grey stratus in between.
Different cloud types occur at different heights in the atmosphere: high (cirrus, cirrocumulus, cirrostratus), medium (altocumulus, altostratus, nimbostratus) and low (cumulus, stratocumulus, stratus), except cumulonimbus which wants to be different, so stretches all the way up!
