What are fog like clouds called?
A fog is basically a cloud hovering at ground level.
A cloud that appear at low or mid level and appears as a heavy gray rain clouds is called?
Nimbostratus is the name of the cloud that can appear at low or mid level and appears as a heavy gray rain cloud.
Where is cloud located?
Different kinds of clouds can be located anywhere from ground-level (fog) to like 50,000 feet.
What describes an altocumulus cloud?
Altocumulus clouds are part of the Middle Cloud group. Puffy mid-level cloud.
Is cirrostratus cloud low-level medium-level or high-level?
Cirrus clouds are thin wispy clouds. They are over 6 kilometers up. It is freezing up there, so they are made of ice crystals. They can mean bad weather is on the way.
True or false are stratus clouds seen higher than altocumulus clouds?
Unlikely, since by definition strutus is a low cloud type while Ac is a middle-level cloud type.
What is the difference between low level clouds middle level clouds and high level clouds?
All clouds are diffiened into four layers as follows- low level clouds-stratus, stratocumulus,nimbostratus and fog(really low stratus) medium level clouds-altocumulus,altostratus high level clouds-cirrocumulus,cirrostratus and cirrus. many level clouds- these are usually convective clouds like cumulonimbuses. stratocumulus for A+
What type of weather does a alto cloud bring?
Clouds with the prefix of 'alto' are middle level clouds between 6500 and 23,000 feet. The two alto clouds are altocumulus and altostratus and these types of clouds usually bring precipitation from rain.
What are five major types of clouds?
There are five major types of clouds. They include high level clouds, mid level clouds, low level clouds, vertically developed clouds and other cloud types.
Do clouds have specific names?
There are two main types: stratus (flat layer) clouds and cumulus (tall bubbly) clouds. As well as the two main types, high clouds are called Cirrus. Middle-level clouds are Alto. Rain clouds have Nimbus attached to them. So: Low-level clouds are Stratus, Cumulus, Cumulonimbus and Stratocumulus. Middle-level clouds are Altostratus and Altocumulus High-level clouds are: Cirrus, Cirrostratus and Cirrocumulus. A cloud that grows from low-level, through middle-level up to high-level, is called Nimbostratus and this deep cloud can bring heavy rain or snow that can last for several hours.
Is a cumulus cloud low in the sky?
Cumulus clouds are high to mid level clouds
What is a ground-level cloud?
Ground level clouds are usually called fog
What are the names of clouds in each cloud level?
Noctilucent clouds are the highest and least understood. Cirrus and cirrostratus are the high-type clouds. Any high cloud will have the prefix "cirr".
Why do clouds have different prefixes?
Clouds have different prefixes based on their altitude and appearance. Alto- clouds are mid-level clouds, cirro- clouds are high-level clouds, and nimbo- clouds are associated with precipitation. This classification helps meteorologists communicate more precisely about the characteristics of different cloud types.
Is Cirrostratus low-level medium level or high level?
A high-level cloud type.
