Why clouds are different shapes?

Clouds are made of tiny water droplets or ice crystals. Wind pushes and pulls these droplets and crystals, making clouds stretch and swirl into all sorts of shapes.

⭐ Bonus fact: The three main types of clouds are cirrus, cumulus, and stratus, each with their own unique look!
