collection of very tiny water droplets or ice crystals that float in the air together. They are able to float because\u00a0they are so small and light.<\/p>\n<p>Near the ground, moisture in air is in the form of water vapor, and clouds are formed when that warm air rises, expands, and then cools. The cooler air can&#8217;t hold as much vapor, so the moisture condenses around dust particles in the atmosphere, then come together.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_Of_Clouds\"><\/span>Types Of Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are different types of clouds. Each has a different altitude and appearance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cirrus_Clouds\"><\/span>Cirrus Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These are the most common high altitude (above 18,000 feet) clouds. They are thin, wispy, and made of ice. They are usually white, and kids can use them to predict fair to pleasant weather.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cirrostratus_Clouds\"><\/span>Cirrostratus Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These are sheet-like, cover the sky, and usually appear 12-24 hours before rain. While they cover the sky, the sun can still be seen through them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cirrocumulus_Clouds\"><\/span>Cirrocumulus Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These appear as small puffs in a long row covering the sky &#8212; almost like the scales of a fish. They&#8217;re usually seen in the winter and indicate fair, but very cold, weather.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Altostratus_Clouds\"><\/span>Altostratus Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These mid-level (6,500-18,000 feet) clouds are gray or blue-gray, and are made up of ice crystals and water droplets. They fill the whole sky and usually form just ahead of continuous rain or snow.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Altocumulus_Clouds\"><\/span>Altocumulus Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These are gray puffy masses made up of water droplets. They form in groups,\u00a0and when you see them in the mornings in the summertime, prepare for thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stratus_Clouds\"><\/span>Stratus Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These cover the sky like fog that doesn&#8217;t reach the ground, are gray, and produce a light drizzle or mist.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stratocumulus_Clouds\"><\/span>Stratocumulus Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These clouds are low, puffy, and gray. They form in rows with blue sky showing through, and rarely produce rain.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nimbostratus_Clouds\"><\/span>Nimbostratus Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These are wet looking and dark gray. They form in a layer that produces steady falling rain.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cumulus_Clouds\"><\/span>Cumulus Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>White and puffy, these look like cotton candy and indicate fair weather. These clouds can eventually tower upwards to form cumulonimbus clouds.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cumulonimbus_Clouds\"><\/span>Cumulonimbus Clouds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These are thunderstorm clouds. High winds flatten the top of them. These clouds produce heavy rain, hail, thunder, lightning, and can even develop into tornadoes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Clouds_Make_Rain\"><\/span>How Clouds Make Rain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When water droplets and ice crystals continue to collect in a cloud, they get heavier and heavier. They will eventually become too heavy to float on the air. Water droplets will fall to the earth as rain.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25364 size-full\" title=\"You can easily show your kids how clouds make rain with a few simple materials.\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/homeschool\/files\/2014\/07\/easy-science-experiment-how-clouds-make-rain.jpg\" alt=\"You can easily show your kids how clouds make rain with this science experiment that only requires a few simple materials.\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/homeschool\/files\/2014\/07\/easy-science-experiment-how-clouds-make-rain.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/homeschool\/files\/2014\/07\/easy-science-experiment-how-clouds-make-rain-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can easily show this to your kids with a few simple materials.
