Cumulus
When you think of clouds, you're most likely to think of these ones. These clouds are fluffy and rounded. They form in little heaps, like a cauliflower. The tops of the clouds are a brilliant white, and the bottom of the clouds can be flatter and grey. You'll often see them on sunny summer days.
The beautiful puffy tops of cumulus clouds can make lots of shapes that might look like lots of different things to you - a pair of trousers, a fish, even a dinosaur! Next time you see some of these clouds, see if you can find any pictures that might be hiding in the sky.
