Cumulus
If you are looking for the technical word for a certain type of cloud = سحابة
then this is the one for clouds that usually don't rain and are associated with fair (nice) weather with blue sky still showing. These clouds are mostly below 6000 feet. They become Cumulus Congestus , Altocumulus Cumulus, Cirrocumulus, Cumulusnimbus (Thunderstorm)... as the atmosphere grows unstable.
Their classification is basically governed by altitude and shape or a combination thereof.
If you need more details in Arabic, please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail. I have written extensively about clouds and their nomenclature both in Arabic and English as part of my specialty.

Cloud
It is simply "cloud."

“Cloud” would do the job. However, you can modify it with “light,” “dark” or “rainy.”

What about \"haze\"?
\"Haze\" is the atmospheric moisture, dust, smoke, and vapor that diminishes visibility.

Scud: ���� ���� �� ���� ����� ������
Cumulus: ���� ��ڡ ��� ���� ���� �� ����� ����� ��� ����� ����ɡ ����� �������� ������ ���������

Mist: ���� ���� �� ���� ���
Apparently, the two words "Cirrus" and "Cumulus" are relevant and refer to most common ���� appearing in skies.
The picture provided by Musab help profusely in determining which ����� one is referring to. Therefore, my ����� in this question is "Cirrus", "Cumulus" and "Cirrocumulus".
