This site will tell you about cloud formation, the names of different cloud types, and their descriptions and differences.
Cloud Formation
As the water vapor rises with the air it cools and condensates (becuase it is below dew point and the air is fully saturated ) or changes back into a liquid. The droplets of wateror small dust particles are so tiny that they stay a float in the air and form a cloud. The warm and cold fronts also mix and condensate, creating a cloud.
There are also 4 types of clouds, which are divided based on altitude:
1. High Clouds: CIRRUS
2. Middle Clouds: ALTO
3. Low Clouds: STRATUS
4. Clouds of Vertical Development (from low ----> high)
