The dew point happens to call when it water to air and is related to the humidity. . It then cools down and becomes water drops, and this is what is done to make these clouds.
Usually you can see the sun through the white clouds. Depending on the altitude, these are soaked in water, grow in size and are filled with water, and when the clouds become very full, then they finally rain. Another name for these storm clouds are nimbus clouds. In other information for the clouds is the thickness, not much light will get between the thick clouds.
There is a scale that for a clear cloud the thickness is 2-8 and for cloudy the thickness is 9-10. The specific names of these clouds are Cirrus which is thicker and white clouds, and the Nimbostratus is low and dark clouds more of a pattern. Then the Cumulonimbus is the big thunderclouds, which is the very thick clouds. These thunderstorms are colors of either black or dark green.

Which means that this is far more dangerous storm coming. The very dark black clouds or scary looking ones are a great way of telling if a storm is coming. If it is rotating then it is usually going to produce a tornado.
