Sorry Redwan but that is incorrect the base of a cumulus seems to be flat
really it isn’t.
But from some distance the appearance is indeed flat.
This is because the rising ait has cooled so much it can no longer contain the moister in it which then condensates.
But the air still rises so the condensation also rises so creating an accumulation of condensate water on top of each other.
This forms the cumulus cloud.
Inversion is a thermal state of the atmosphere where the temperature rises with the altitude so effectively stopping air to rise.
Basically the dead of any thermal
