8. A cloud by any other name.
Okay – that’s enough. I am bored with their names but if you are not, well there are about three-dozen-plus other descriptive names for specific formations. Some people clearly spend all their time with their heads in the clouds!
9. Why clouds are white.
They are white because their water droplets or ice crystals scatter the seven colours of the spectrum and therefore radiate white light to our eyes.
10. Elephant clouds.
Hindus and Buddhists believe that cumulus are the spiritual cousins of elephants, and in Iran, clouds are a portent of good things to come.
