types worksheet. Different clouds form depending on the weather and they will bring us different types of rain. Below is a diagram of each of these types of cloud. Clouds are a collection of droplets or ice crystals. The warmer the air temperature, the more water vapour (gas) that the air can hold. However, when the air starts to cool, water vapour starts to condense as long as it has condensation nuclei to condense around. Cirrus Cumulonimbus Cumulus Large clouds up to 10km high Found high in the atmosphere usually over Fairly low clouds with – and across. 5,500 metres bottom between 600m and They resemble giant Common throughout the world cauliflower.
