Condensation. Although it sort of makes more sense to say that the cloud froze as the water vapor in the air forms ice crystals on dust and airborne bacteria rather that water vapor in the air forming a liquid.

The scientific name for a thundercloud is cumulonimbus. These clouds are tall and dense, composed of water droplets, ice crystals, and sometimes even hail. They are associated with thunderstorms and can produce heavy rainfall, lightning, and strong winds.

There is no general name for 'cloud' but there are different scientific names for different types of clouds, such as :

alto, meaning middle and thus in the middle height of our atmosphere

Stratus, meaning sheet and layer like clouds

currulus meaning heap, usually looks like bunnies or castles in the sky

cirrus, meaning curl, lock of hair

numbus meaning rain.

you could also check a latin conversion site but it wouldn't be really the scientific name, but it would be the latin name for a cloud, which might be the scientific name...

The Latin name for cloud would be the scientific name for them.

A "Cumulonimbus" cloud. These clouds can grow up to several miles wide and are very dense and because of their density, they can produce heavy rain. Hope that answers your question!
