Cloud Spotting: Shapes in the Sky

Reading Text

Have you ever looked up at the sky? You can see many different clouds. Some clouds look like big, white cotton balls. These are called cumulus clouds. They usually mean the weather is nice and sunny. Other clouds look like thin, white feathers high in the sky. These are cirrus clouds. They often mean the weather will change soon. Sometimes, you see dark, grey clouds that cover the whole sky like a blanket. These are stratus clouds. They often bring rain or snow. Watching clouds is fun. It can help you guess the weather!
