What are clouds made of ?
High in the atmosphere where temperatures are very, very cold, most clouds are made of tiny ice crystals. Closer to the ground, the clouds we see are made of
tiny water droplets.

How do clouds form?
In general, there are two ways clouds form. In both cases though, the clouds form because the air is cooling.
In the atmosphere, rising air cools and sinking air warms. In most cases, the clouds that you see are caused by rising air.

How do clouds form?
Clouds can also form when the air gets colder for other reasons. This can happen overnight when the air is cooling, or when warm air moves over a cold lake or a snow-covered surface.

How are clouds named?
Clouds are classified based on how high they are in the sky, whether they are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals, their general appearance, and whether they are producing precipitation.
On the next page, I’ll explain some of the basic terminology used to classify clouds.

How are clouds named?
Puffy clouds are called cumulus or have the prefix “cumulo.”
Clouds that form a layer are called stratus or have the prefix “strato.”
Clouds that are made up of ice crystals are called cirrus or have the prefix “cirro.”
Clouds that produce precipitation are called nimbus or have the prefix “nimbo.”

How are clouds named?
We often need to combine the various cloud terms to accurately describe the clouds we see.
For example, puffy clouds are called cumulus; however, if the cumulus clouds form a layer, they are called stratocumulus.
If those puffy cumulus clouds grow upward high into the sky and produce rain, they are called cumulonimbus clouds.

Sunlight is made up of all different colors of light. Some particles in the atmosphere such as raindrops and ice crystals act as prisms and separate the sun’s light into the various colors.
Other particles cause certain colored light to be scattered in many different directions.
Colors In The Sky
![Page 21: The Clouds Outside My Window - National Weather … Clouds Outside My Window Include a picture of your home or school here Your School Name Written and illustrated by Your Name The](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ac6e8a97f8b9a5d718b5639/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The blue light that we see in the sky actually comes from sun. When sunlight strikes tiny particles high in the sky, the blue portion of the sun’s light is scattered in all directions. We see the blue light that is scattered
toward us from all over the sky.
Why is the sky blue?
Include picture of blue sky
![Page 22: The Clouds Outside My Window - National Weather … Clouds Outside My Window Include a picture of your home or school here Your School Name Written and illustrated by Your Name The](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ac6e8a97f8b9a5d718b5639/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sunrise Colors
Sunrises and sunsets are red, orange, and yellow for the same reason that the sky is blue. Because the sun’s light must travel through more atmosphere at sunrise
and sunset, the violet, blue, and green light gets scattered by particles in the atmosphere, leaving only
the red, orange and yellow light.
Include picture of colorful sunrise
![Page 23: The Clouds Outside My Window - National Weather … Clouds Outside My Window Include a picture of your home or school here Your School Name Written and illustrated by Your Name The](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ac6e8a97f8b9a5d718b5639/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sunrise Colors
Sometimes, high and mid level clouds reflect the yellow orange, and red light from the sun at sunrise or sunset. This can cause the clouds at sunrise to
look red, orange, or yellow.
Include picture of colored clouds at
sunrise

Sunset Colors
Clouds at sunset are colored for the same reason as they are at sunrise. Beautiful sunsets often occur
when the sky to the west is clearing.
Include picture of colored clouds at
sunset

Rainbows
The raindrops act like little prisms and separate the sun’s light into various colors. We see these colors as a
rainbow. For the main rainbow, the red is on the outside, followed by orange, yellow, green, and blue (if visible).
Include picture of rainbow if you
have one
![Page 26: The Clouds Outside My Window - National Weather … Clouds Outside My Window Include a picture of your home or school here Your School Name Written and illustrated by Your Name The](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ac6e8a97f8b9a5d718b5639/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Rainbows
In some cases, the raindrops can cause a secondary rainbow. In this case, the secondary
rainbow is barely visible. The colors are in reversed for secondary rainbows and the sky
between rainbows darker than either side.
Include picture of double rainbow if
you have one

Sundogs
Ice crystals can also act as prisms to separate the sun’s light. In this case, ice crystals have created a sundog in the sky. Sundogs can occur on one or both sides of the sun near sunrise or sunset.
Include picture of sundog if you
have one

Sundogs
If we take a closer look, we see that the red light is closest to the sun followed by orange, yellow,
green, blue, and violet.
Include picture of sundog if you
have one

Iridescence
Thin clouds composed of tiny water droplets or ice crystals can also cause iridescence. This typically
occurs near the sun and is often difficult to see.
Include picture of iriidescence if you
have one
