Some clouds eg fog do form at ground level when conditions are right.

How clouds form in the sky?

well you need to have three important items for clouds to form. 1- moisture so the water can form the cloud. 2- cooling air so that the water vapor can be condenced. 3- condensation Nuclei or also known as dust. the dust will gather the water vapor in the air, without it clouds can not form.
