Why do clouds have different shapes?

Cloud is one thing which many of them in childhood used to think that they can step on. And as we grew we know what they actually are. But it's one of the beautiful looking things in nature for sure. The best part is some of them make shapes which fascinates me to know "Why do clouds have different  shapes? ".Let's explore!

The sky can be full of water. But more of the time you can't see the water. The drops of water are too small to see.The have turned into a gas called water vapour. As the water vapour goes higher in the sky, the air gets cooler. The cooler air causes the water droplets to start to stick to things like bits of dust, ice or sea salt.

Clouds get their names in two ways. One way is by where they are found in the sky. Some clouds are high up in the sky. Low clouds form closer to Earth's surface. In fact, low clouds can even touch the ground. These clouds are called fog. Middle clouds are found between low and high clouds. Another way clouds are named is by their shape. 

Cumuliform clouds are shaped like mushrooms and are formed when rising warm air cools as it goes up. Stratiform clouds come in flat, dull layers, and are formed when air sinks in a high pressure area, creating a layer of cold air near the ground that doesn't rise, or rises only very slowly. 

Cirriform clouds are clouds that have risen on a front or tropical cyclone, and frozen into ice crystals at a very high altitude. They look like thin hair. The shape of clouds also depends on the time of the day. Towards evening, clouds tend to be thinner and flatter than during the daytime. Changes in wind patterns also change the shapes of clouds.
