fogfogA cloud that forms close to the ground is known as a stratus cloud.
Stratus clouds are mostly made of water droplets.
no a stratus is a layer cloud.
Low sheet-like clouds are called stratus clouds. They are typically gray or white in color and appear as a uniform layer covering a large portion of the sky. Stratus clouds often bring steady, light precipitation such as drizzle or light rain.

They are Stratus, Nimbostratus, Altostratus, and Cirrocumulus.

Stratus clouds.
Alto-stratus clouds are grey to bluish-gray that can produce light precipitation. Like nearly all clouds, they occur in the troposphere.
They're called stratus clouds
Stratus clouds are uniform gray clouds that usually cover the entire sky. They can form when very weak, upward vertical air currents lift a thin layer of air high enough to initiate condensation. Stratus clouds also form when a layer of air is cooled from below to its dewpoint temperature and water vapor condenses into liquid droplets. Stratus clouds look like a layer of fog that never reaches the ground. In fact, fog that "lifts" off the ground forms a layer of low stratus clouds. Precipitation rarely falls from true stratus clouds since the upward vertical motion needed for precipitation is very weak, but light mist and drizzle can sometimes accompany stratus clouds.
