  Clouds, we see them just as the Romans did. The formation of clouds is mainly due to the evaporated water from lakes, streams, and the earth's surface reaching a height in the atmosphere where they condense and stick together. At lower altitudes, they can cause rain, hail, sleet, or snow. When they are higher in the atmosphere, they form ice crystals. Take a brief tour of the different types of clouds, and see how we chose Latin to name the different clouds, as Latin is very descriptive and useful in this manner.
