Clouds

When I was browsing the web I found alot of neat things about Clouds. I found out that about 200 years ago an Englishman classified clouds according to what they looked like to a person standing on the ground. He grouped them into 3 classes and gave them Latin names: cirrus, cumulus, and stratus. These names along with other Latin words are used to identify cloud formations. By being familiar with the different cloud formations and what weather they portray can help you take appropriate actions when needed.
