There is another cloud called stratgocumlois cloud. They are the shape of honey cones. They occur in patches where you can see the sky between them. Another cloud is an altocumous cloud  that has grey pathces. Another cloud is a ninbostrartis cloud which are also known as continuous rain clouds; they are dark and grey filled with falling water or snow and thick enough to block out the sun.
