🔍 Key Concepts

• Cloud families by altitude: high (cirro-), middle (alto-), low (strato-/nimbo-) • Visual appearance: thin uniform layers vs puffy heaps/patches • Typical altitude ranges for cirrus, altocumulus, and nimbostratus clouds

💭 Think About

• Look at the height of cloud number 5 on the altitude scale—does that match high-level cirrus types or mid-level alto types? • Compare the texture of cloud 5: does it look like a thin veil, a continuous rain layer, or separate white patches/rolls? • Which cloud type name combines the idea of its height level with its lumpy, cumuliform appearance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the altitude band where #5 is located on the left-hand scale and match it to high vs middle vs low cloud groups. • Check whether #5 looks broken into distinct patches or like a solid, gray, rain-bearing sheet. • Eliminate any option whose usual altitude range clearly does not match the level shown for #5 in the diagram.
