Clouds are made of tiny drops of water or ice in the air. They form when air rises and cools. This makes the water in the air change into a liquid.

Clouds can tell us about the weather. Thin, wispy clouds mean good weather. Puffy, white clouds mean good weather too. But tall, dark, puffy clouds mean storms are coming. A blanket of flat, gray clouds can bring rain or snow.

What Do You Think?    Look in the sky. What kind of weather is coming?
