REVIEW NOTES:

Clouds are fogs or mists formed some distance above the ground.  Made up of tiny drops of water floating in the air, they are caused by the cooling of air containing water vapor.  There are four main types of clouds:  Cirrus (which means "wisp"), Cumulus (heap) and Stratus (sheet) - the names of these describe their shape - and Nimbus, the black and shapeless rain cloud.
