In which atmospheric layer does acid rain occur?
Troposphere
What layer of the atmosphere does convection take place?
That would be the troposphere. It is the first atmospheric layer and is the closest to Earth. This is where clouds and weather are formed.
Can it rain but white clouds no rain clouds?
no you need rain clouds
What are high grayish clouds called?
the clouds that bring rain are usally cumulonimbus clouds
What type of cloud produces freezing rain?
Freezing rain can come from Cumulonimbus and Nimbostratus clouds, but the clouds are not responsible for the freezing rain. If the precipitation falls from the clouds as snow it must pass through a warm layer of air to melt the snow flakes into rain drops. Then the raindrops must pass through a frigid layer of air that super-cools them. Finally, the rain instantly turns to ice if it lands on a surface that has a temperature below freezing. Then you know you have freezing rain. (see Related Link below for more detail on freezing rain.)
What atmospheric layer are cumulonimbus clouds located in?
troposphere
In which atmospheric layer does acid rain occur?
Troposphere
A low smooth layer of clouds of gray from which a steady rain or snow falls?
cumulonimbus clouds
How is the weather linked to atmospheric pressure?
It is linked because if you have high atmospheric pressure it brings blue sunny skies. If you have low atmospheric pressure it bring clouds and rain.

That would be the troposphere. It is the first atmospheric layer and is the closest to Earth. This is where clouds and weather are formed.
How do mountains affect the water cycle?
When winds blow rain-bearing clouds towards mountains the clouds are forced to rise. As atmospheric pressure becomes lower the clouds are forced to drop their rain. This is why rain generally falls on the windward side of a mountain range. This precipitation is an essential part of the water cycle.
Can it rain but white clouds no rain clouds?
no you need rain clouds
What are the gas in the clouds?
In atmospheric clouds: water.
How does the rain get in the clouds?
the clouds are the rain

What kinds of clouds form freezing rain?
Same as the clouds that form rain and snow - nimbostratus, for the most part. Freezing rain forms due to a shallow layer of cold air at the surface with above-freezing air above. This is unrelated to cloud types.
