Clouds

mammatus clouds: a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. its nicknamed the breast cloud.


lenticular cloud: these are clouds that form around hills and mountains.

roll cloud: roll clouds form on near advancing cold fronts

noctilucent cloud: Noctilucent clouds can form only under very restricted conditions. Noctilucent clouds are made of tiny crystals of water ice, higher than any other clouds in Earth's atmosphere. Clouds in the Earth's lower atmosphere form when water collects on particles, but other clouds may form directly from water vapor.

my favorite was the lenticular cloud because it looks nice and peaceful around a hill or mountain
