Strautus can form anywhere from the surface to several thousand feet.
Nimbo-stratus and stratus clouds form at low altitudes.
nimbostratus
Yes. Alto clouds form the medium altitude group, but stratus clouds are at low altitudes.
Stratus clouds are flat, hazy, featureless clouds of low altitude varying in color from dark gray to nearly white. Stratus clouds may produce light snow or drizzle. Their altitude is usually below 6,000 feet.
stratus
The lowest cloud in the sky is known as stratus clouds. They typically form in a blanket-like layer and are found at low altitudes close to the ground.
Stratus is the cloud in flat layers
cirrus
There are three families of clouds. The families are cirrus, cumulus, and stratus. Types of clouds in the cloud families are: cirrocumulus, cirrostratus, altostratus, altocumulus, nimbostratus, stratocumulus, and cumulonimbus.
Cloud levelsClouds are generally categorized in three groups: Stratus (lower clouds), Alto (mid-level clouds), and Cirrus (high-level clouds). Alto clouds are found between approximately 2000M to 7000M. The "stratus" in the word altostratus refers to the form of the clouds, in this case, they are stratified, or flat, as opposed to cumuliform clouds which are vertical in structure.
fair weather cloud is the stratus cloud...
in any altitude in the troposphere. :)
