What is a week of studying about clouds without going outside for some serious cloud watching? We were amazed to see what we were learning come to life before our eyes. Here are some of our favorite facts...
1. Cumulus clouds has a lifespan of 5-40 minutes. We watched some disappear and others form right before our eyes.
2. Clouds look gray because of the shadow the sun casts on the water droplets in the cloud.
3. The "points" of a cloud tell which way the wind is blowing.
4. Stratus clouds really do cover the sky like a blanket.
5. It is neat to see remnants of contrails and to see how they turn into other clouds.
