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

What are the types of clouds in order closest to the ground and farthest from the ground?

The types of clouds in order from closest to the ground to farthest from the ground are: Stratus clouds Cumulus clouds Cirrus clouds


What are clouds made of and how high are they off the ground?

Clouds are made of water that has dried up and become water vapours. These vapours rise into the air and cool down into clouds. When the clouds are completely cooled, it will rain. Clouds can be at a varying height, depending on the vapour density.


Can you breathe in clouds?

yes you actually can because when it gets foggy its just the clouds that are close to the ground


Do clouds go the ground?

Clouds do not typically reach the ground in their usual form, as they are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. However, when clouds descend and come into contact with the ground, they can create a phenomenon known as fog. Fog is essentially a cloud that is formed at ground level, reducing visibility and creating a damp atmosphere. So, while clouds themselves don't "go" to the ground, their effect can manifest as fog.


Why arent the clouds in the ground?

Clouds are formed from water vapor that has condensed into tiny droplets or ice crystals. These droplets and crystals are suspended in the air due to updrafts and air currents. The conditions at ground level are typically not conducive for the formation and suspension of clouds, which is why clouds remain in the atmosphere rather than settling on the ground.

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.


A patch of ground in direct sunlight will have what a patch of ground shaded by clouds?

A lower air pressure than a patch of ground shaded by clouds :)


Are stratus clouds low clouds?

Yes. Aside from fog (which is at ground level) stratus clouds are the lowest-lying of all clouds.
