Stratus clouds begin when a warm, moist airmass is forced over a cold air mass, essentially a cold front. This forms the cloud. Eventually, it starts precipitating, which drops all the moisture onto the earth. Then, there's no more cloud afterwards.
Stratus clouds, as opposed to cumulus clouds, tend to be flat (or stratified) and are generally associated with mild as opposed to violent weather occurrences. Drizzle or light snow as opposed to heavy rain would be expected from stratus clouds.
clear sky which mean not any types of precipitation
Stratus clouds are low-lying uniform clouds which blanket the sky. They are often a dullish white to gray in color, and they are generally the sort of clouds which appear when people talk about a "cloudy day." Stratus clouds are not generally associated with poor weather, although they can be accompanied by drizzle, and at higher altitudes, they can be an indicator that rain is on the way. The next time you look out the window onto an oppressively cloudy day with low-lying clouds, you'll know that you are looking at stratusstratus clouds.
Stratus clouds bring, small amounts of rain. I may be wrong but I have a test on Clouds tomorrow so I should know. And for you information stratus clouds look like a long, fluffy, blanket, and are usually are gray. So when you see stratus clouds you MAY have rain. Like I said I can't promise you that every stratus cloud will bring little rain. So if you'll be walking on a day stratus clouds will be out, bring a umbrella, just in case. Date 9/4/12
They are grayish and appear in flat layers in the sky. Stratus means layers and they bring drizzle or rain.

They are uausally accociated with heavy precipitation and clouds

Not necessarily. The word stratus means layered. If the stratus clouds are low enough they can result in ground fog. Stratus clouds can also produce a light, but steady rain or snow.

Basic stratus clouds normally produce a light drizzle and sometimes snow.
