What are the three kinds of clouds

 

cirrus, cumulus and stratus.

• Cirrus — is a genus of atmospheric cloud generally characterized by thin, wispy strands, giving the type its name from the Latin word cirrus, meaning "ringlet" or "curling lock of hair". Such a cloud can form at any altitude between 5,000 and 13,700 m above sea level
• Cumulus clouds — are clouds which have flat bases and are often described as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance. Their name derives from the Latin cumulo-, meaning heap or pile.
• Stratus clouds — are low-level layers with a fairly uniform grey or white colour. Often the scene of dull, overcast days in its nebulosus form, they can persist for long periods of time. They are the lowest-lying cloud type and sometimes appear at the surface in the form of mist or fog.
