Clouds and the 3 states of water

In this text we will explain about the three states of water and the clouds.

The three states of water are solid, liquid and gas. Solid is when the water is like ice, the water becomes ice when the liquid water freezes. Liquid is the water that we use to drink, take a bath, wash our hands, cook and play. Gas forms when heat is added to liquid water.

Clouds are classified into a system that describes the appearance of the clouds to the observer from the ground. Stratus clouds are gray and cover the sky. They resemble fog that doesn`t reach the ground. If the sky is black something is going to happen with these clouds.

Cirrus clouds are the most common clouds that we can see. They are made of ice and they are white and mean good weather. They are high clouds.

Cumulonimbus clouds are thunderstorm clouds. High winds flatten the top of the clouds to an anvil like shape. Lightening, thunder and even violent tornadoes are associated with these clouds.

Cumulus clouds are puffy clouds and look like floating cotton. The base is flat and the top is rounded.
