Cloud formations have always been observed by man, many centuries before our time. People have always loved clouds. They always wondered why some clouds were dark and others white and fluffy, and why some clouds were so high and others so low that they seemed reachable by human hands. The most recent classification of clouds was made by the World Meteorological Organization in 1956. This organization lists 10 basic types of clouds which are divided into species based on their external shape and internal structure. Additionally, varieties of clouds are discussed based on arrangement and transparency. There is a classification of altitude which is called high, medium and low altitude. The different types of clouds are found in these three divisions depending on the altitude of the clouds. First, we have high clouds that range in altitude from 16,500 to 45,000 feet. In this division we have cirrus, cirrocumulus and cirrostratus. A cirrus appears in delicate feather-like bands, not attached to each other, and is usually white without shading. Cirrocumulus appears as very small round balls or flakes. Cirrocumulus clouds sometimes form a pattern of a buttermilk-colored sky. Cirrostratus sometimes form tangled webs or thin whitish sheets. Sometimes a large ring or halo is seen around the sun or moon when cirrostratus covers the sky.&...
