Clouds of the Day - Cirrus & Altocumulus - Thursday, February 15, 2024

Can you name the cloud types in these photos? The answers are below. Photo 1 is at the top and Photo 6 is at the bottom.

Photo 1: Altocumulus
Photo 2: Altocumulus
Photo 3: Altcumulus with ice crystals condensing, growing in size, and falling down and away from the parent cloud. The falling away occurs because of the differences in wind speed from the top of the cloud to the bottom of the trailing ice crystals.
