As @idefix37 said, if your objective is to be able to recognize cloud types, then you should go to specific web site to learn the different types because it is not so easy. You can already go to this website : https://www.thoughtco.com/types-of-clouds-recognize-in-the-sky-4025569 -

As explained by @Korina post, you have the possibility to know the cloud altitude, but identifying the cloud types according to the cloud classification is not easy from the satellite view.In this photo, can you tell which type of cloud is by its color? Could you explain the differences between these clouds and their precipitations?
