DID YOU KNOW:. Luke Howard was a pharmacist by profession. But this “young amateur meteorologist named and classified the clouds in 1803”. He first identified 3 types of clouds ~ Cirrus, Cumulus, and Stratus ~ and then further used intermediate and compound names to identify more types of clouds.
This short video explains how the expression “Cloud 9” (Cumulonimbus) came to mean being on top of the world. How did clouds get their names?
It's a most enjoyable and educational video.
I now have an even greater appreciation for that Motown song “Cloud9” performed by the legendary group The Temptations; and I love Charlie Brown even more. ☺❤
Clouds are a great topic to study with kids.
