In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol consisting of a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body or similar space. Water or various other chemicals may compose the droplets and crystals. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature.
They are seen in the Earth's homosphere, which includes the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. Nephology is the science of clouds, which is undertaken in the cloud physics branch of meteorology. There are two methods of naming clouds in their respective layers of the homosphere, Latin and common.
Genus types in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adoption of Luke Howard's nomenclature that was formally proposed in 1802. It became the basis of a modern international system that divides clouds into five physical forms which can be further divided or classified into altitude levels to derive ten basic genera. The main representative cloud types for each of these forms are stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus. Low-level clouds do not have any altitude-related prefixes. However mid-level stratiform and stratocumuliform types are given the prefix alto- while high-level varients of these same two forms carry the prefix cirro-. Genus types with sufficient vertical extent to occupy more than one level are classified formally as low- or mid-level depending on the altitude at which initially forms. They are also more informally characterized as multi-level or vertical, which also do not carry any altitude related prefixes. Most of the ten genera derived by this method of classification can be subdivided into species and further subdivided into varieties. Very low stratiform clouds that extend down to the Earth's surface are given the common names fog and mist, but have no Latin names.
In the stratosphere and mesosphere, clouds have common names for their main types. They may have the appearance of stratiform veils or sheets, cirriform wisps, or stratocumuliform bands or ripples. They are seen infrequently, mostly in the polar regions of Earth. Clouds have been observed in the atmospheres of other planets and moons in the Solar System and beyond. However, due to their different temperature characteristics, they are often composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid, as well as water.
Tropospheric clouds can have a direct effect on climate change on Earth. They may reflect incoming rays from the sun which can contribute to a cooling effect where and when these clouds occur, or trap longer wave radiation that reflects back up from the Earth's surface which can cause a warming effect. The altitude, form, and thickness of the clouds are the main factors that affect the local heating or cooling of Earth and the atmosphere. Clouds that form above the troposphere are too scarce and too thin to have any influence on climate change.
The tabular overview that follows is very broad in scope. It draws from several methods of cloud classification, both formal and informal, used in different levels of the Earth's homosphere by a number of cited authorities. Despite some differences in methodologies and terminologies, the classification schemes seen in this article can be harmonized by using an informal cross-classification of physical forms and altitude levels to derive the 10 tropospheric genera, the fog and mist that forms at surface level, and several additional major types above the troposphere. The cumulus genus includes four species that indicate vertical size and structure which can affect both forms and levels. This table should not be seen as a strict or singular classification, but as an illustration of how various major cloud types are related to each other and defined through a full range of altitude levels from Earth's surface to the "edge of space".

Nasikitika sana sijui wanakosea wapi, hawapo kama wenzao wa Clouds Radio! Sijui wanafeli wapi?
Au ni bahati mbaya kwangu kila nikiingia kuiangalia nakuta vipindi visivyoeleweka.
Kama usiku wa Jana manyimbo TU yasiyoeleweka.
Nilikuwa nakifuatilia sana kipindi cha leo cha Sam Sasali na Tupa Tupa muda huu Clouds TV kipindi cha 360 lakini wamekatisha matangazo ghafla, shida ni nini?

Hii shule ipo njia ya Cocacola -Clouds, karibu kabisa na Bushoke Chips, hapa bhana asubuhi wazazi wanaleta watoto wao shule, basi hakuna parking, magari yanajaa barabarani na inasababisha foleni na usumbufu sana kwa watumiaji wa barabara hiyo.
Tunaomba uongozi wa shule uwajibike kuwa na mpango...

Kuondoa utata clouds wambieni walimu kutoka mikoa tofauti tofauti wapige sm wawambieni lini na wapi walimu walipewa mafunzo ya hii mitaala mipya, zaidi nao wanasikia na kuona kama wazazi.
Pili halmashauri gani imepokea vitabu vya kujifunza na kujifunzia vya hiyo mtaala mpya.

Makonda hata ajifarague na kujibaraguza vipi mbele ya watanzania, yeye ni jambazi, mtekaji, mporaji na muuaji.
Niliowataja hapo juu walitoa shutuma za uhalifu wa Makonda hadharani kabisa.

Taarifa yake hii hapa .
Ikumbukwe kwamba Clouds media ndio kile chombo cha habari kilichovamiwa kwa silaha za kivita na yule jamaa aliyekuwa Mkuu wa Mkoa wa DSM , jina lake limenitoka kidogo , mnaweza kunikumbusha .
Kuna watu wapo kwenye siasa wanataka kuwaweka ndugu zao waongoze chama cha walimu Tanzania. Kuna watu wapo kwenye mfumo wa CCM wanataka kukimiliki chama cha walimu Tanzania
Kufanikisha malengo yao wamewachukua Makada wa CCM na kuwapeleka studio kutimiza malengo yao.
Tuliona namna Serikali...
