There is no one answer to this question. There are many different types of cloud which all have their bases at different heights. The highest level of cloud will form higher than 7000m high. The lowest is actually fog and that touches the ground. For that reason there is no real answer to how far is it from the ground to the clouds

∙ 8y agoDepends on the geography of the area. In a very flat place on land you can see about five miles to the horizon. Somewhere very cold like in Antarctica on the ice sheets the cold can actually bend light allowing you to see Hundreds of miles. On water you can see about 25 miles.

∙ 14y agodepends on what kind of cloud.... Cumulous clouds ( big white puffy ones) are an indication of good weather. they do not get tall, but if they do they cn produce thunderstorms. the bottoms of these clouds get fairly close to the ground. stratus clouds (look like flat sheets of clouds) these clouds can mean an overcast day or steady rainfall. they may stay in one place for several days. Cirrus clouds (feather clouds) are so high in the sky they are sctaully made of ice particles. they are indicators of fair weather when scattered throughout a clear,blue sky. Other types of clouds:Cumulonimbus(Thunderheads) and Nimbostratus (brings long steady rain) info at: http://www.urbanext.Illinois.edu/weather/2.html

∙ 13y agowell it depends really because sometimes the clouds are right on the ground which is how we get fog sometimes the clouds arent totally on the ground but are quite low and some clouds are really high

∙ 7y agoClouds occur inside earth's atmosphere, mostly below 100000 feet of altitude.
The top of earth's atmosphere is at roughly 250 miles of altitude (about 1320000 feet).
What we see as the sky is a combination of scattered (mostly blue) sunlight from everywhere in earth's atmosphere that is above us and various visible objects in outer space (everything above earth's atmosphere, e.g. artificial satellites, the moon, the sun, the planets, stars, galaxies). Some of these distant objects are billions of lightyears away from us (one lightyear is nearly 6 trillion miles).

Which clouds is closer to the earth cirrus or cumulus?
The closest clouds is cumulus clouds
Does lightning go from earth to clouds or from clouds to earth?
BOTH of those kinds of lightning occur.
How do clouds help heat the earth?
Clouds don't really heat the Earth. Some clouds keep the Earth from losing heat. Heat is moved in different ways. One way is radiation. The Sun warms the Earth with radiated heat. But, the Earth also radiates heat. Clouds absorb some of the heat the Earth radiates and radiate it back to the Earth. If there are no clouds present all of the heat the Earth radiates go out into space and is lost.
What are the types of clouds on Earth?
The three main types of clouds are - High Clouds (Cirrus) Middle Clouds (Nimbus) Low clouds(Stratus)
Does earth have clouds?
yes
Does earth has clouds?
Yes. There are ALWAYS clouds somewhere on Earth.
What will be the result when clouds cover the earth?
There will be no earth there will only clouds
How far away is the sun from the clouds?
Approximately 93 million miles. In comparison, the distance from the ground to the clouds is at most about five miles. Because the sun is so far away from Earth, the difference between the distance from the ground to the sun and the distance from the clouds to the sun is not significant.
How are clouds on earth different from clouds on neptune?
In Earth, the clouds has rain, snow, and hail. But in Neptune, they clouds doesn't has snow or hail.
When was Far Above the Clouds created?

Is it true that The astronomer Hubble discovered that the star-clouds seen from earth are actually very far away?
yes
How far do snow flakes from clouds to earth?
Snowflakes can fall anywhere from a few thousand to over 20,000 feet.
Is there ammonia in hail stones or clouds?

Why does earth have wind clouds and rain?
the earth has wind clouds because of the water cycle
What is closest to earth... is it sun moon or clouds?
clouds
Which clouds is closer to the earth cirrus or cumulus?
The closest clouds is cumulus clouds
How do the clouds shield earth from the sun during rainy season since the earth rotates?
Well this is the misconception most of the people have. In the first place as far as rotation of earth is concerned, earth is no different from clouds. When you say earth rotates, it includes the atmosphere(the gaseous layer which surrounds it) as well. So as a whole earth along with the gaseous layer around it rotates, thus effectively there is no relative motion between earth and clouds due to the rotation of earth.
