This is my script for the podcast. Do you think it is okay or should I something? I still plan on adding a few question about Britleys topic in the intro.


Have you ever wondered when you walked outside, the details of weather? Or even looking out the window? Have you questioned what makes clouds move? Why are there so many types? Why does it rain? How do we measure rain? You are soon to find out. Clouds are made up of very tiny water droplets or ice crystals. They are so small they float, therefore creating a visible cloud and appear white because of the suns reflection. A usual cloud is moved by wind from 30 to 100 miles per hour. There are 4 main types of clouds: Cirrus, Alto, Stratus, and cumulus. Cirrus clouds are highest in the sky. They are blown by high winds and appear wispy. These clouds predict fair to pleasant weather. Alto clouds are middle in the sky and often show as a blue-grey color. They predict continuous rain or snow, whereas stratus clouds are lowest in the sky and often bring a light mist. Stratus clouds appear gray and cover the entire sky. And finally cumulus clouds, which form in all heights of the sky. They appear white and fluffy and often look like pieces of floating Cotton. These can become very large and turn into what we know as thunderstorm clouds.  Clouds are an important part of weather and have the ability to predict so much.
