There can be too many variations. You would need to provide a link to what exactly it is you are comparing.

Obviously, "Managed" means management is included, but what that kind of management depends on the provider. For example, some support 3rd party scripts whereas others only support the network/hardware and maybe the OS only.

Cloud VPS must be using some type of virtualization which may either help scalability wise, provide better uptime or a combination of the two. Could also have other benefits.

Cloud VPS ram must mean it is a VPS that includes a lot more RAM e.g for a backup server because it can use a lot of RAM.

Unfortunately the differences sometimes is not as much as it would seem.
Some hosting providers use the names interchangeably to mean the same thing, and use it as marketing terms.
Only way to be sure is to read their description and contact them for clarification.

Technically speaking

A VPS is a container on a server using either shared or dedicated virtulization

A Cloud VPS is a VPS on cloud architecture such as Openstack and is immune from Hardware failure.

VPS ram is the same thing but with more RAM

However as others have mentioned everyone sticks the cloud label on everything these days and most do not even understand the technical definition of cloud.

Managed means your host should take care of all server issues and maintenance but that support ends at the point of user data such as your PHP scripts, hosts are hosts not developers.
