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.
What happens when the clouds hang really low?
What happens when the clouds hang very low is that it becomes foggy. Fog is clouds that are very low to the ground and that are are made up of tiny water drops.
