In fact, all clouds belong to one of three principle types to which Howard gave the names: cirrus, Latin for tendril or hair, cumulus, heap or pile, and stratus, layer or sheet.

I virkeligheden tilhører alle skyer en af tre hovedtyper, som Howard gav navnene: cirrus, latin for krølle eller hår, cumulus, bunke eller højde, og stratus, lag eller ark.

For instance, stratus clouds-those unlovable, featureless sprawls that give us our overcast skies, happen when moisture-bearing updrafts lack the oomph to break through a level of more stable air above, and instead spread out, like smoke hitting a ceiling.

For eksempel, stratus-skyer - de uelskede, featureless udstrækninger, der giver os vores overskyede himmel - sker, når fugtighedsbelastede opvinde mangler kraften til at bryde igennem et niveau af mere stabil luft ovenover, og i stedet spreder sig ud, som røg der rammer et loft.
