2. Cirrostratus cloud - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrostratus_cloud

   These are made when the cloud takes the form of thin cirrostratus nebulosus. [1] The cloud has a fibrous texture with no halos if it is thicker cirrostratus fibratus. On the approach of a frontal system, the cirrostratus often begins as nebulous and turns to fibratus. If the cirrostratus begins as fragmented of clouds in the sky it often means ...

   Cloud chart showing major tropospheric cloud types identified by standard two-letter abbreviations and grouped by altitude and form. See table below for full names and classification. The table that follows is very broad in scope much like the cloud genera template near the bottom of the article and upon which this table is partly based.

4. Circumhorizontal arc - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumhorizontal_arc

   A circumhorizontal arc is an optical phenomenon that belongs to the family of ice halos formed by the refraction of sunlight or moonlight in plate-shaped ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, typically in actual cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. In its full form, the arc has the appearance of a large, brightly spectrum-coloured band (red being ...

5. Cirrostratus nebulosus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrostratus_nebulosus

   Cirrostratus nebulosus is a type of high-level cirrostratus cloud. The name cirrostratus nebulosus is derived from Latin, the adjective nebulosus meaning "full of vapor, foggy, cloudy, dark". [2] Cirrostratus nebulosus is one of the two most common forms that cirrostratus often takes, with the other being cirrostratus fibratus.

6. Stratus cloud - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratus_cloud

   Cirrostratus clouds, a very high ice-crystal form of stratiform clouds, can appear as a milky sheen in the sky [8] or as a striated sheet. [9] They are sometimes similar to altostratus and are distinguishable from the latter because the Sun or Moon is always clearly visible through transparent cirrostratus, in contrast to altostratus which ...

7. Halo (optical phenomenon) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(optical_phenomenon)

   The ice crystals responsible for halos are typically suspended in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds in the upper troposphere (5–10 km (3.1–6.2 mi)), but in cold weather they can also float near the ground, in which case they are referred to as diamond dust. The particular shape and orientation of the crystals are responsible for the type of ...

   Some species of male birds dance to impress their mates, such as the complicated dance routine of the little red-capped manakin or the flashy display of the male peacock. In other species, the ...

9. Cirrus cloud - Wikipedia

   Cirrostratus cloud. Cirrostratus clouds can appear as a milky sheen in the sky [72] or as a striated sheet. [67] They are sometimes similar to altostratus and are distinguishable from the latter because the Sun or Moon is always clearly visible through transparent cirrostratus, in contrast to altostratus which tends to be opaque or translucent ...
