We already know how they are made, we learned in elementary school. The most cloudy spot on Earth is Prince Edward Island, South Africa, where only 800 hours of sunlight permeate through the clouds a year. In order to measure the level of cloudiness, we do not need any instrument, but the measurement is carried out, popularly called "from the eye", so that we can determine that it is clear, moderately cloudy, or completely cloudy. Some earlier studies have shown that passing aircraft through so-called "supercooled" clouds can cause snowfall. Here's what else these once-fluffy and sometimes threatening gray formations in the sky still hide.
Clouds at various angles reflect the sun's rays and therefore appear in shades ranging from dazzling white to dark gray.
Cirruses are a type of cloud that occurs in areas of high altitude winds. They appear thin and separated, almost transparent, and resemble white bands. They range from 3 to 18 kilometers, depending on the climate zone.
Cumulus (Cumulus), are clouds that appear to be on a pile. They occur in an unstable atmosphere, so their development and movement depends on pressure, humidity, changes in temperature… They also resemble giant clumps of snow or cauliflower head, and occur at an altitude of 5 to 7 kilometers.
