If the cloud is dense enough, it 【C1】______. If it’s cold enough, it snows. And if it’s low enough, we call it fog.

One day, the sky was full of cirrus(high, threadlike cloud)and stratus(low, layered cloud), nimbus(rainclouds)and cumulus(low, puffy cloud). By combining these Latin names and grouping them by the【C5】______(high)at which they occurred, Howard came up with a 10-point system for identifying clouds.
Some countries may be sick of the sight of them, but drought-stricken areas are crying out for a bit of cloud cover.
