What are four classes of clouds by altitude?
Stratus -- very low on ground level, fog Cumulus -- sunny day clouds, low in the sky Cumulonimbus -- they extend through all levels Cirrus -- ice clouds, the highest clouds Sixty years ago I was taught in school the above were the types of clouds, but apparently it isn't that simple. Visit the link below to understand cloud types more thoroughly.
What cloud type is best described as sheets or layers that cover much or all sky?
Status clouds
What are the Altosratus Atocumulus and Nimbosratus definitions?
These are all types of clouds. Stratus clouds form layers or smooth, even sheets in the sky. Cumulus clouds are masses of puffy, white clouds, often with flat bases. Some prefixes of cloud names describe the height of the cloud base. The prefixaltodescribes middle-elevation clouds. Clouds associated with rain or snow often have the the word nimbus attached to them. So, altostratus clouds are clouds that form layers, or smooth, even sheets in the sky at middle-elevation, altocumulus clouds are masses of puffy, white clouds, often with flat bases at middle-elevation, and nimbostratus clouds are clouds that form smooth, even sheets in the sky and are associated with rain or snow.
Are all clouds the same?
They are not the same. Some clouds move in different ways. Some clouds are shaped different. But, clouds are all made the same.
How many layers does Mars have?
Yes the planet has layers like earth and i believe it has less layers than earth but what the name of the layers arre I'm not quite sure.The layers of Venus are just like Earth's layers. There all the same thing. The layers are: crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
What clouds extend through all layers?
The clouds that are known to extend through all the layers are the cumulonimbus clouds. They can do this because they are stacked vertically.
Does Mount Everest extend through all four layers in the atmosphere?
No, only through the trophosphere...

Status clouds
In which of the four layers of the atmosphere would one find the cumulonimbus clouds?
Almost all clouds, including the cumulonimbus, are contained in the troposphere although some clouds occasionally protrude upward into the next level.
When a rocket is launched which sequence of atmospheric layers does it travel through?
When a rocket is launched, it travels through atmosphere. It has to travel through all layers.
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+

Layered clouds that often cover much of the sky and are dull gray color are called?
Clouds that form in layers or flat patches are called stratus clouds. They can cover the entire sky and usually do not have precipitation that falls from them.
What kind of waves travel through all layers?
Primary waves.
Are all clouds the same?
They are not the same. Some clouds move in different ways. Some clouds are shaped different. But, clouds are all made the same.
Why are thunder clouds gray?
Thunder clouds are grey because they are denser and heavier than other clouds. Clouds are just clumps of moisture beads that form in the atmosphere. Clouds that cause thunderstorms tend to contain much more moisture than other clouds - they are thicker and heavier, and thus they appear darker because light cannot get through them.
