What kind of clouds form near the ground?
Fog
When clouds form close to the ground they are called?
fog.
Why do clouds form well above the ground?
The water vapour in the air does not condense until the air temp is low enough. This temp is reached as clouds go higher. Some clouds eg fog do form at ground level when conditions are right.
How off the ground are clouds?
Clouds actually start to form at a place called the LCL (lifting condensation level) The LCL is dependent on altitude, humidity, elevation and temperature. Clouds start to form above the LCL
How far from the ground do most clouds form?
1000 feet above sea level.
Which clouds are most likely to form when fog lifts away from earth's surface?
stratus
How does altostratus clouds form?
Altostratus clouds are formed when a large stable air mass is lifts causing water vapor to condense into a cloud.
How do ground level clouds form?
The moisture in the ground combines with the the air to make water vapor, therefore creating clouds at ground level.
What type of clouds form at the ground?
It's fog
What kind of clouds form near the ground?
Fog
When clouds form close to the ground they are called?
fog.
What are the type of clouds that form near the ground called?
fogfogA cloud that forms close to the ground is known as a stratus cloud.
What form of water are high clouds made of?
any water that fallls to the ground evaperates into the clouds

What does a nimbus clouds look like?
Stratus clouds are uniform gray clouds that usually cover the entire sky. They can form when very weak, upward vertical air currents lift a thin layer of air high enough to initiate condensation. Stratus clouds also form when a layer of air is cooled from below to its dewpoint temperature and water vapor condenses into liquid droplets. Stratus clouds look like a layer of fog that never reaches the ground. In fact, fog that "lifts" off the ground forms a layer of low stratus clouds. Precipitation rarely falls from true stratus clouds since the upward vertical motion needed for precipitation is very weak, but light mist and drizzle can sometimes accompany stratus clouds.
When bits of ice crystals form in clouds they may fall to the ground as?
Cocaine.
Why does it rain less in summer?
there is less water in or on the ground to evaporate and form clouds
