What is another name for a cloud that forms on the earths surface?
Fog.
What type of cloud has fog?
Fog is just a cloud that is low enough to touch the earth's surface. Yea fog is a cloud.
What effect does cloud cover have on the earths temperater?
During the day, clouds can absorb heat energy from the sun. This causes a warming effect on the Earth. At night, cloud cover will keep the heat within the Earth's atmosphere, which also has a warming effect. This is because hot air rises, it is trapped by the clouds and therefore the temperature remains moderately warm. This is why in deserts (where there isn't much cloud cover) it is baking hot in the day, but freezing at night.
Why does the surface temperature of the ground increase on a calm clear night as low cloud cover moves overhead?

Is fog a stratus cloud?
no the stratus cloud is not fog because stratus clouds are flat layered clouds unlike fog which are thin clouds that covers earths surface.
