So I have this STEM project to do about anything STEM related and I decided to do lenticular clouds.

ScIencekid, if you have any specific questions related to astronomy, you might try asking in one of the other forum sections. The classroom doesn't contain a lot of ongoing discussions, partially because it is a specially organized section of the forum. Your questions don't seem to pertain to the lecture itself. If you can collect your thoughts into something more specific, someone might have a suggestion. I just hope you realize it looks an awful lot like you want your homework done for you. Ideas are the hardest part.

Sciencekid, I suggest you just google "lenticular clouds". I did, and my first source, Wikipedia, contains quite a lot of information on how these clouds form. And this site contains information on how lenticular clouds have been mistaken for UFOs. Really, there is a lot to find if you only google!

Can't resist showing you this picture of a long string of lenticular clouds. Don't they look gorgeous? According to the Wikipedia site that I linked to, these are an example of a lenticular version of a wave cloud.

Do look around on you own! There is so much to learn out there. But remember to always quote your sources, and never present other people's texts as your own!

Good luck!
