what are its various types?
stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus.
Cloud
The main representative cloud types for each of these forms are stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus.
chemical and physical processes include the formation of clouds Adiabatic cooling , Non-adiabatic cooling how is this associated with aristotle? Aristotle wrote "Meteorologica", a work which represented about natural science, including weather and climate. For the first time, precipitation and the clouds from which precipitation fell were called meteors, which originate from the Greek word "meteoros", meaning 'high in the sky'. what is it made up of? A visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere. Water or various other chemicals may compose the droplets and crystals. are there different types of cooling ? Yes - Adiabatic cooling , Non-adiabatic cooling can you describe the former one? It occurs when one or more of three possible lifting agents – convective, cyclonic/frontal, or orographic – cause a parcel of air containing invisible water vapor to rise and cool to its dew point, the temperature at which the air becomes saturated.

Cloud [SEP] Introduction
Nephology is the science of clouds, which is undertaken in the cloud physics branch of meteorology. There are two methods of naming clouds in their respective layers of the homosphere, Latin and common. Genus types in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adoption of Luke Howard's nomenclature that was formally proposed in 1802. It became the basis of a modern international system that divides clouds into five physical "forms" which can be further divided or classified into altitude "levels" to derive ten basic "genera". The main representative cloud types for each of these forms are stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus.
