Yes, Aircraft can fly below, in, or above the clouds. There are special qualifications and rules that apply. Some clouds are low, some are higher. The aircraft must be capable of climbing to an altitude that will get them above the clouds.
Most small single engine airplanes have a 'ceiling' of less than 15,00 feet, larger singles about 25,000 feet and jets around 40,000 feet. So the ability depends on the height of the clouds and the capability of the airplane.
Flying in, through, or even very close to the clouds requires special training and aircraft capabilities. This is referred to in aviation as "Instrument Flight Rules" (IFR), as opposed to the other type of flight where only visual reference outside the airplane is used "Visual Flight Rules" (VFR).

Why do aeroplanes fly above the clouds?
They don't always fly above the clouds. They fly below, in or above them. Planes have optimum levels that they fly at. Sometimes that may be above the clouds, but not always.
What kind of duck can fly above clouds and another kind that can't?
There are no ducks that can fly above the clouds. There are no birds in fact, that can fly in the clouds or above them. This is because birds consider clouds to be obstacles that get in the way of their flight patterns.

Why do aircraft bump in clouds?
They don't 'bump' into them ! Clouds are not solid - so planes simply fly through them !
What is an aeropause?
An aeropause is the region of the atmosphere above which it is impossible for aircraft to fly.
How does aluminum body of aircraft which is good conductor of electricity prevents itself from lightining strikes?

What happens when you are in the airplane and the clouds are very low?
When you are in an airplane and the clouds are very low, the pilot might fly above the clouds or make an emergency landing.
What do planes fly in this layer to avoid bad weather conditions?
Most jets actually fly around storms instead of above them. The updrafts which exist above storm clouds are extremely strong and very dangerous to fly in. Commercial jets only fly in the troposphere, at an average altitude of 37,000 feet (11 km). Above that level, the air simply isn't dense enough to produce enough lift for normal aircraft.
When do clouds fly higher?
clouds fly higher in the night
Can you see stars on venus?
No. The surface of Venus is obscured by thick clouds. If you could fly above the clouds then you would see the same stars that you see from Earth.
How high does the military planes fly?
military aircraft will fly at any height. one tactic they use to avoid radar is to fly as low as possible as low as 10-20 m. there are aircraft used in military operatrions that fly as high as 80,000 ft or 24 km above the ground.
What happens when you are in the airplane and the clouds are hanging as low as ever?
When you are in an aeroplane and the clouds are hanging low the visibility of the plane will be poor, therefore the pilot might decide to make an emergency landing or fly above the clouds.
