Answer 3

cotton wool =D

Answer 4

Water vapour or ice crystals.

I love storm clouds too. They can grow very tall and hit the maximum altittude, then spread out like a gigantic anvil.

Answer 5

Water vapour

Answer 6

WATER VAPOUR!!!

Answer 7

Water vapour - a bit like steam.

Answer 8

Some clouds are made of ice crystals, especially cirrus clouds that blow off from nearby mesoscale convective complexes.

Ice crystals in some clouds, especially thunderheads, is one of the reasons why some thunderstorms can produce hail as well as rain.

Answer 9

water vapour

Rising air currents take the vapor up into the atmosphere, along with water from evapotranspiration, which is water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil. The vapor rises into the air where cooler temperatures cause it to condense into clouds.  

Answer 10

Cloud are made of tiny water droplets(liquid form) condensed from water vapour(gaseous form) and in the case high clouds,they are made of ice crystals formed from water vapour.

Answer 11

if a cloud forms at the cold high-levels, it will be usually be made of ice crystals, so will tend to look rather thin and wispy. High-level clouds include 'cirrus', the commonly seen delicate white tufty clouds, and 'cirrocumulus', which is made up of many small round clouds. A sheet of 'cirrostratus' is generally more uniform. It is often translucent and can give a 'halo' around the sun.

Medium-level clouds usually look thicker. Because they are lower, they are mostly made of water droplets, although they can also contain some ice particles too. Some of the medium-level clouds are similar to the high-level clouds; 'altocumulus' is made of larger puffs of clouds than the high-level cirrocumulus, and the grey layer of 'altostratus' is a denser version of cirrostratus. There is also a thick dark rain-bearing cloud at this height too - nimbostratus.

CloudLow-level clouds are usually made solely of water droplets. As well as the grey featureless layer of 'stratus', there are many types low-level of cumulo clouds too. There is the rather squashed looking 'stratocumulus', and the fluffy cotton-wool 'cumulus' clouds. There is also the 'cumulonimbus'. Cumulonimbus clouds can be so tall that it can reach up into the high-level. This is why it is sometimes classed as a 'vertically developed' cloud. This cloud can bring thunderstorms, or showers of rain, snow or hail.

One rare, but beautiful cloud is the noctilucent cloud that appears to glow in the sky. It is usually about 85 km above the surface of the earth and believed to be composed of ice crystals. However, because it is so high and forms in such a dry part of the atmosphere, it is a bit of an enigma in the world of clouds.

Answer 12

they are made up of small water droplets and a helluva alot of them top, and the reason they stay afloat is because of constant updrafts of air that pushes them up all the time and because of gravity it is also pushed down thus it doesn't really move hoped i helped
