Why do clouds usually form high in the sky instead of near earths atmosphere?
Clouds are in earth's atmosphere. Clouds form whem moisture in the air condenses, and usually conditions mnear the gcround are too warm for moisture to condense. Instead, clouds form at higher altitudes where it is cooler.
Are cirrus clouds higher than cirrocumulus clouds?
no
What is higher the sky or the clouds?
space
How does the angle of the sun as it hits earths surface effect the length of the shadows?
The lower the Sun is on the horizon, the longer the shadow that is cast, the higher the Sun is in the sky, the shorter the shadow.
Is Mount Everest higher than clouds?
yes
Why fo clouds usually form high in the air instead of near earths surface?
Clouds form when moisture condenses and moisture condenses when it is cooled. The air is cooler higher up.
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
What is a hollow or depression in earths surface wholly or partly surrounded by higher land?

When do clouds fly higher?
clouds fly higher in the night
Earths surface winds blow from regions of higher what?
Air pressure toward regions of lower air pressure
Is the higher on earths surface the greater the objects potential energy is?
Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.
Why would the person weigh less on top of the mountain than on the Earths surface?
The higher you go the less effect gravity has on you.
Do currents of cold sinking air produce regions of higher pressure or lower pressure at the earths surface?
Sinking air would add air to the surface, raising the pressure.
Are cirrus clouds higher than cirrocumulus clouds?
no
What best explains why thunderstorms usually form on warm days?
The warm air over the Earth's surface rises and pushes the clouds higher.
Is air pressure greater near the earths surface or at higher altitudes?
I am sure that if you think about the problems encountered by climbers on Mount Everest you might be able to answer that yourself. Near the Earth's surface.
