Refer to figure.
Cumulus clouds are characterized by their flat-bases and "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" appearance. These clouds are detached, dense clouds with sharp outlines. They develop vertically into rising mounds, domes, or towers, with the upper part often resembling a cauliflower. The sunlit portions of these clouds are a brilliant white, while the base is relatively dark. They vary greatly in size, ranging from small fair-weather cumulus in summer to large towering cumulus.
