| Altocumulus Clouds |
| Puffy and often have dark, shadowed undersides. They sometimes create what is known as a mackerel sky because their ripples look like fish scales. |
| Stratocumulus Clouds |
| Gray clouds with dark shading that spread out in a puffy layer. They do not produce rain, but sometimes turn into rain-producing nimbostratus clouds. |
| Cumulus Clouds |
| Known as fair weather clouds, because they form in warm air on sunny days. They disappear at night. Sometimes they pile up and form cumulonimbus clouds. |
