Lenticular Clouds are also called Altocumulus lenticularis are
stationary lens-shaped clouds that form in the troposphere. It is
usually in perpendicular alignment to the wind direction. Lenticular
clouds can be separated into ACSL, (Altocumulus Standing Lenticularis)
or SCSL (Stratocumulus Standing Lenticular), and CCSL, (Cirrocumulus
Standing Lenticular). Because of their rare shape, they’ve been observed
as an explanation for some UFO (Unidentified Flying Object), sightings.

always in motion. We have a tendency to to think of the motion of our
atmosphere as horizontal across the ground, namely wind. Though, air can
move vertically as well. Also Read: Glowworms Transform Cave into a Fascinating Starry Sky
