Synopsis

¿Alguna vez has visto cómo nace una nube? Las nubes tienen formas y tamaños muy variados, desde los estratos bajos hasta los altos cirros, pasando por las nubes tubulares, las nubes en forma de bandera y los tornados. Esta guía bellamente ilustrada revela los datos, secretos e historias de los principales tipos de nubes y explica cómo dan forma al clima que las rodea. Aprenderemos sus elegantes nombres derivados del latín, exploraremos las partes del cielo donde les gusta aparecer, nos maravillaremos al verlas jugar con la luz del Sol e incluso las visitaremos en otros planetas, donde a veces están hechas de ácido. Observar las nubes para principiantes inspirará a las mentes curiosas un asombro meteorológico que les durará toda la vida.
