Cloud types categorized by altitude with corresponding names.

Let’s solve Q.2 first — labeling the clouds using the word bank.

We have 8 cloud types to place:
- Stratocumulus
- Altocumulus
- Cirrocumulus
- Cumulus
- Stratus
- Cirrostratus
- Altostratus
- Cirrus

And we have 8 blank boxes in the diagram, grouped by height: HIGH, MID, LOW.

Step 1: Understand cloud heights

Clouds are grouped by how high they are in the sky:

- HIGH clouds (above 20,000 ft / 6,000 m):
→ Start with “Cirro-” or just “Cirrus”
→ Examples: Cirrus, Cirrocumulus, Cirrostratus

- MID clouds (6,500–20,000 ft / 2,000–6,000 m):
→ Start with “Alto-”
→ Examples: Altostratus, Altocumulus

- LOW clouds (below 6,500 ft / 2,000 m):
→ No special prefix, but often include “Strato-” or “Nimbo-”
→ Examples: Stratus, Stratocumulus, Nimbostratus (already labeled), Cumulus, Cumulonimbus (already labeled)

Note: Cumulus and Cumulonimbus can grow vertically, but their base is low. In this diagram, Cumulus is shown at low level, and Cumulonimbus is tall but starts low.

Step 2: Match each box based on position and shape

Looking at the diagram from top to bottom:

HIGH LEVEL (top row):

Left box: Small puffy dots arranged in rows → that’s Cirrocumulus

Middle-top box: Thin, wispy, feathery clouds → that’s Cirrus

Right-top box: Thin, sheet-like layer covering sun/moon → that’s Cirrostratus

Wait — let’s check positions again.

Actually, looking at standard cloud charts:

Top left: patchy small white dots = Cirrocumulus

Top middle: thin, wispy streaks = Cirrus

Top right: faint veil over sun = Cirrostratus

But in the diagram, there are only 3 blanks in HIGH section? Let me count the blanks total.

Actually, counting the white boxes in the image:

There are 8 empty boxes total.

From top to bottom, left to right:

1. Top-left: dotted pattern → Cirrocumulus
2. Top-middle: wispy feathers → Cirrus
3. Top-right: thin sheet behind sun → Cirrostratus

Then MID level:

4. Left mid: flat gray layer → Altostratus
5. Right mid: rounded patches → Altocumulus

Then LOW level:

6. Bottom-left: lumpy gray layer → Stratocumulus
7. Bottom-middle: flat gray sheet near ground → Stratus
8. Bottom-right: fluffy cotton ball → Cumulus

Yes! That matches all 8.

So let’s assign:

HIGH:
- Left: Cirrocumulus
- Middle: Cirrus
- Right: Cirrostratus

MID:
- Left: Altostratus
- Right: Altocumulus

LOW:
- Left: Stratocumulus
- Middle: Stratus
- Right: Cumulus

That uses all 8 words.

Now for Q.3: Which are fair weather clouds?

Fair weather clouds are usually the nice, puffy ones that don’t bring rain — like Cumulus.

Cirrus are also fair weather, but they’re high and wispy — sometimes signal change.

Altocumulus and Altostratus can mean changing weather.

The most classic “fair weather cloud” is Cumulus — the fluffy white ones you see on sunny days.

So answer to Q.3 is c) Cumulus.

Final Answer:
Q.2 Labels (from top to bottom, left to right as per diagram layout):
HIGH: Cirrocumulus, Cirrus, Cirrostratus
MID: Altostratus, Altocumulus
LOW: Stratocumulus, Stratus, Cumulus

Q.3: c) Cumulus
