Why are clouds different from each other?
Clouds are made of tiny water drops or ice crystals that float in the air. They look different because they have different shapes, sizes, and colors, and they drift in the sky with the wind.
- Shape: Some clouds are fluffy like pillows, some are long and flat, and some are wispy like hair.
- Size: Some are big and wide, others are small.
- Color: Most are white, but some look gray or blue-tinted in the light.
- Where they are: High in the sky or lower down, which can change how they look.
- Move: Wind blows them around, so they change shape as they travel.
Fun idea for you
Look up at the clouds with a grown-up. What shapes do you see? Try drawing one cloud on paper and naming its shape.
