What are the different types of clouds that I can see in the book?

There are four different types of clouds shown in How BIG is BIG? They are:

Cumulus

Cumulus is a low level cloud. It is the fluffy white couds that always look so nice.

 

Altocumulus floccus

Altocumulus floccus is a mid level cloud. It has a soft round shape and stays in groups just like a flock of sheep in the sky. But I don't think they go baa.

 

Altocumulus lenticularis

Altocumulus lenticularis is the tricky looking mid level cloud that sometimes looks like lots of fat clouds stacked on top of each other so they become a bit squished and stick together. They look pretty cool I think.

 

Cirrus

Cirrus is the thin wispy stuff you sometimes see way up high when there is nice weather. Cirrus clouds often mean that the nice weather is here to stay a bit longer and the sun is usually shining through the soft threads in the sky. Cirrus looks great at sunset when it catches the light which reflect many beautiful colours.
