I’m Doing Fine…On Cloud Nine

There are so many songs about clouds. Some are very familiar including:

I’m Doing Fine…On Cloud Nine by the Temptations…

I wanna say, I love the life I live.

The Stones,  Hey Hey, You You…Get Off My Cloud.

The folksy Joni Mitchell, Both Sides Now

Simon and Garfunkel’s Cloudy 

They have no borders, no boundaries.

Now let me identify the types of clouds, because I don’t know about you, but I don’t really remember all of this from my science class a million years ago.

They’re listed based on how high they are located in the sky, did you remember that?

High-Level Clouds include: cirrus and cirrostratus

Mid-Level Clouds include: altocumulus an altostratus

 Cumulus

Low-Level Clouds include: nimbostratus and stratocumulus

Then there are the “Others” which include: contrails, billow clouds, mammatus, orographi and pileus.

Contrails:

And I didn’t need to get on a plane to see any of this. 

Just look up…they’re out there!
