It’s all in the name!
Prefixes: Cirro/us – means “curl of hair”, high
altitude Alto – means “tall”, medium altitude No prefix – low altitude Nimbo – means rain
Suffixes: Cumulus – means heap or pile, fluffy
clouds Stratus – means layers

Altitude = Composition
Cirro/us – high altitude clouds are made purely of tiny ice crystals
Alto – medium altitude clouds are usually mixed liquid water and ice crystals
No prefix – low altitude clouds are made of only liquid water
Nimbostratus – liquid water drops get too big and fall to the surface
