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. what are its various types? stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus.

Cloud [SEP] Accessory clouds
Supplementary cloud formations detached from the main cloud are known as accessory clouds. The heavier precipitating clouds, nimbostratus, towering cumulus (cumulus congestus), and cumulonimbus typically see the formation in precipitation of the "pannus" feature, low ragged clouds of the genera and species cumulus fractus or stratus fractus. A group of accessory clouds comprise formations that are associated mainly with upward-growing cumuliform and cumulonimbiform clouds of free convection. "Pileus" is a cap cloud that can form over a cumulonimbus or large cumulus cloud, whereas a "velum" feature is a thin horizontal sheet that sometimes forms like an apron around the middle or in front of the parent cloud.
