Explore My World Clouds
You just need to look up to see clouds. They float everywhere and move with the breeze. They are over country lanes, mountains, cities, and you can see them almost every day, and throughout the day. At sunset and sunrise they take on different colors. In some nights, clouds can be seen as well through the light of the moon.
Clouds are made of water; each cloud is made of droplets of water, or ice, that fly together in the sky.
Clouds bring rain and rain is needed by people, animals, and plants to live. They need to drink the water to live. Rain happens when the water droplets bump into each other and stick together, they become too heavy and fall down.
When it’s cold, the droplets freeze and become ice crystals, when the crystals stick together, they become snowflakes and fall to the ground in the form of snow.
One kind of cloud piles up really tall and brings big storms, with thunder and lightning.
If you were to fly in the sky through a cloud, you could feel the wetness. It is the same feeling when clouds hang low and create fog.
When winds blow hard, clouds move fast and change shape as they go. Sometimes it looks like they don’t, but they always move, slow or fast.
During the day, clouds help keep the Earth cool by blocking the sun’s heat; at night, clouds help keep the Earth warm by keeping the warmth like a blanket.
I liked this book a lot! I learned a lot about clouds and the pictures were amazing.
