Cloud Apps vs Web Apps

I have 2 questions: First, what's the difference between a web application and a cloud application? Are there any differences at all? If I'm developing a web application (a site with many interactive features), can I call it a cloud application? Second, if there's a difference between a cloud and web application, what languages can cloud applications be developed in? Would a scripting language like PHP be useful for that? Thanks. UPDATE: I have watched the video in one of the answers, but I am still a little confused. Taking Google Docs as a example, all I see is a user interface that can be created with html and JS, along with a server script, and the data is stored in a database, which is basically the same thing a web application does. Or is it different? Thanks
