I'm unable to create a Venn diagram, but I can provide a simple text-based comparison.
Cumulus clouds:
- Fluffy, white, and puffy
- Often found on a sunny day
- Look like cotton balls or popcorn
Cirrus clouds:
- Wispy and high in the sky
- Made of ice crystals
- Sometimes indicate good weather
Stratus clouds:
- Low and gray, covering the sky
- Often bring steady rain or drizzle
- Can look like a blanket covering the sky
Overlap:
- All types of clouds are formed from water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere
- They are all part of the water cycle and play a role in weather patterns

Do you know the similarities between cumulus and stratus? Cumulus and cirrus? Cirrus and stratus?

Sure! Here are the similarities between the different types of clouds:
Cumulus and stratus:
- Both cumulus and stratus clouds are low-level clouds that form below 6,500 feet in the atmosphere.
- They can both bring precipitation, although cumulus clouds are usually associated with short-lived showers while stratus clouds can bring steady rain.
Cumulus and cirrus:
- Both cumulus and cirrus clouds are typically found at higher altitudes in the atmosphere. Cirrus clouds are high-level clouds found above 20,000 feet, while cumulus clouds can be mid-level clouds between 6,500 and 20,000 feet.
- They are both composed of ice crystals and can sometimes indicate fair weather, although cumulus clouds can also bring showers.
Cirrus and stratus:
- Cirrus and stratus clouds are both classified as clouds that indicate the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere.
- They can both be seen across large areas of the sky, with cirrus clouds appearing wispy and high above while stratus clouds form a low, overcast layer.
