🔍 Key Concepts

• Cloud families by altitude: high, middle (alto-), and low levels • Difference in appearance between layered (stratus) vs heaped (cumulus) clouds • Typical look of cirrostratus (often shows a halo) vs altostratus (featureless gray/blue sheet)

💭 Think About

• Look at the altitude scale where cloud #4 is located: is it in the high, middle, or low level of the chart? • Does cloud #4 look more like a uniform sheet or like separate cotton-ball clumps? • On this same diagram, which numbered cloud clearly shows a halo around the sun, and which option would that most likely match?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether #4 sits in the middle (alto-) level, not the very top high layer or near the surface • Decide if the texture is stratus (smooth layer) or cumulus (puffy clumps) • Compare #4 with the other numbered mid-level cloud in the figure and decide which one is more clearly cumulus-like
