Clouds come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. But did you know these cloud formations have names? There are four main categories of clouds: cirrus, cumulus, stratus, and nimbus. Clouds in the first category, cirrus, are wispy, like white hair strands high in the sky. Cumulus clouds are white and fluffy, like giant cotton balls. Stratus clouds look flat and broad, like a blanket stretching across the sky. Nimbus clouds generally create rain, so these clouds look thick and stormy.
