Clouds have a significant influence on climate, and vice versa. As the Earth's global temperature increases, the number, density and altitude of cumulus, cirrus, nimbus and other clouds should change. The explanations are complex. There are two types of clouds: the so-called"low clouds", located at less than two kilometers of altitude and having a cottony appearance, and the"high clouds", located in higher atmospheric layers.The increase in global warming could come from a double phenomenon.
