Not necessarily. The word stratus means layered. If the stratus clouds are low enough they can result in ground fog. Stratus clouds can also produce a light, but steady rain or snow.

Do stratus clouds form from ice crystals or water droplets?

yea,they do,they are alike u just gatta know the anser or what 5TH GRADER! Yes, stratus clouds do form them both and they are alike. The saying that you "just got to know the answer" isn't always fair. There are probably hundreds out there that don't know the answer. You may have been deprived by your teachers. Our education system is guilty many times of not teaching all the things that is needed. Don't feel bad about not knowing this answer. I am an educator and I see many teachers which do not fulfill their duties and the test results show it. And I've seen teachers strive and teach hard, but many of our youth have their minds elsewhere. Anyway, it is great you are asking these questions and finding the answers. It is never too late to learn! GOOD LUCK AND HOPE I HAVE HELPED!


What weather is Associated with a cumulonimbus cloud?

Stormy bad weather like rain.


What is a cumbulonimbus cloud?

Large raincloud. There are two parts to this question. The word itself stands for two separate things. Cumulus clouds are the large clouds that often usher in thunderstorms or heavier rains. We also see them in some nicer weather days popping up in fair weather. Pilots call these cumulus clouds popcorn cumulus, or fair weather cumulus because no rain or bad weather is occurring at that moment. They can become bigger issues as the day wears on. Nimbus is the second portion of this word. Nimbus means water is leaving the cloud and hitting the ground. Therefore your cloud is a large puffing storm cloud that is emitting rain that is hitting the ground.


What cloud is worse a wall or bubble cloud?

A wall cloud is typically associated with severe weather events such as tornadoes, making it more dangerous than a bubble cloud which is harmless and mainly a result of condensation. Wall clouds are characterized by rotating updrafts and are often found in supercell thunderstorms, indicating the potential for severe weather. Bubble clouds are usually small and puffy with no significant weather implications.

Is this True or false the higher the clouds the better the weather?

False. Clouds at different altitudes can indicate different weather conditions. For example, very high clouds like cirrus clouds may indicate fair weather, while lower, denser clouds like cumulonimbus clouds may signal the potential for storms.


If you saw thin wispy clouds followed by lower layered cloud what type of weather might you expect in the near future?

The thin, wispy clouds you saw are Cirrus clouds and they are very high in the atmosphere and made of ice crystals. They normally indicate a change in the weather, and it is usually bad weather. This means that the low layered cloud you saw was either a stratus or cumulonimbus cloud which are both storm clouds. Cirrus clouds don't always predict storms, but that was probably what was happening.

Cirrus clouds usually approach with fair weather, but the fair weather may later indicate that a storm/thunderstorm is approaching.
