=Hi my name is Jackie I am 10 years old.My favourite sport is basketball and soccer i'm intrested in basketball,computer ,music and riding my bike on my spare time.I live in New zealand Auckland= =In landscape learning we are learing about weather.I have learnt about clouds and clouds formation.Here is a video i found about clouds.media type="youtube" key="YswL4dIDQuk" height="351" width="432"A **cloud** is a visible mass of [|water] [|droplets] or frozen [|ice crystals] suspended in the [|Earth's atmosphere] above the surface of the [|Earth] or other [|planetary] body. Clouds in the Earth's atmosphere are studied in the [|nephology] or [|cloud physics] branch of [|meteorology]. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding [|water vapor] to the air. Generally, [|precipitation] will fall to the surface; an exception is [|virga] which evaporates before reaching the surface. Clouds can show convective development like cumulus, be in the form of layered sheets such as stratus, or appear in thin fibrous wisps as with cirrus. Prefixes are used in connection with clouds: strato for low cumulus-category clouds that show some stratiform characteristics, nimbo for low to middle stratiform clouds that can produce moderate to heavy precipitation, alto for middle clouds, and cirro for high clouds. Whether or not a cloud is low, middle, or high level depends on how far above the ground its base forms. Some cloud types, especially those with significant vertical extent, can form in the low or middle ranges depending on the moisture content of the air. Clouds have Latin names due to the popular adaptation of [|Luke Howard]'s cloud categorization system, which began to spread in popularity during December 1802. Synoptic [|surface weather observations] use code numbers for the types of tropospheric cloud visible at each scheduled observation time based on the height and physical appearance of the clouds. While a majority of clouds form in the Earth's [|troposphere], there are occasions where clouds in the [|stratosphere] and [|mesosphere]are observed. Clouds have been observed on other planets.= [|Edinburgh], the country's [|capital] and second largest city, is one of [|Europe]'s largest financial centres. Edinburgh was the hub of the [|Scottish Enlightenment] of the 18th century, which transformed Scotland into one of the commercial, intellectual and industrial powerhouses of Europe. [|Glasgow], Scotland's largest city, was once one of the world's leading [|industrial] cities and now lies at the centre of the [|Greater Glasgow] conurbation. [|Scottish waters] consist of a large sector of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, containing the largest [|oil reserves] in the [|European Union]. This has given [|Aberdeen], the third largest city in Scotland, the title of Europe's oil capital
