How far from the ground do most clouds form?
1000 feet above sea level.
Why do clouds form well above the ground?
The water vapour in the air does not condense until the air temp is low enough. This temp is reached as clouds go higher. Some clouds eg fog do form at ground level when conditions are right.
What is a ground-level cloud?
Ground level clouds are usually called fog
How off the ground are clouds?
Clouds actually start to form at a place called the LCL (lifting condensation level) The LCL is dependent on altitude, humidity, elevation and temperature. Clouds start to form above the LCL
Why do clouds almost always cover the top of some mountain?
Because the Earth has different atmospheres and clouds are in an atmosphere that is much higher up than ground level. Some mountains are in the same atmosphere as the clouds so clouds form around them.
Are stratus clouds low clouds?
Yes. Aside from fog (which is at ground level) stratus clouds are the lowest-lying of all clouds.
What is the difference between fog and clouds?
Clouds and fog are both water vapor that's visible in the air. Clouds are found above ground level, are more common, and usually thicker. Fog occurs at ground level.
Which weather condition can be describe as clouds at ground level?
