Summary
What are clouds, and why are they there? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby will fill you in on cloud science! Can you tell the difference between a cloud that’s made of ice and one that’s made of water? Tim will show you how! You’ll also learn what kind of clouds settle on the ground to form fog, and what to call those cottony, fluffy ones. But if you’re looking for confirmation on whether that cloud looks like George Washington...you’re on your own for that!
