clouds - outw4rd area

Cumulus clouds	They are BIG, puffy clouds. They are dense and have clear edges so you can see when the cloud starts and ends. They look like they have shadows, with the tops and middles of the clouds being white and the bottoms being more gray and flat. Usually they are in one section of the sky.
Altocumulus clouds	They cover the sky, taking up a large area. They are grey or white and look kind of like pressed popcorn, with smaller lumpy round clouds arranged together. When I see them, they usually cover the sky and have a fun pattern to them.
Cirrocumulus Clouds	These are kind of like Altocumulus clouds in that they usually cover the sky in a sheet. However, cirrocumulus clouds are not usually shaded, and have the texture of a quilted blanket or a carpet. Sometimes they are very thin. Other times, they are thicker and look like the ridges in sand by the edge of a calm lake.
Stratocumulus clouds	These are usually grey or whitish. When they cover the sky, they cover it. Like a thick fluffy blanket. This will sound silly, but it kind of looks like you're under a giant, white, fuzzy graham cracker.
Lenticular clouds	They are a type of clouds that can have other attributes. For example, the altocumulus standing lenticular or cirrocumulus standing lenticular. They get the lenticular part of their name from the fact that they are stationary and hang out in the lowest part of the earth's atmosphere. They are uniquely shaped, varying from a "lens-like" shape, to a tornado shape, to... pastry shaped? They are often confused for UFOs.
