Cumulonimbus clouds are large, towering clouds associated with thunderstorms and severe weather, characterized by their vertical development and anvil-shaped tops. They can produce heavy rain, lightning, hail, and tornadoes. In contrast, altostratus clouds are mid-level, gray or blue-gray clouds that typically cover the sky and often precede storms with continuous rain. They are generally more uniform in appearance and do not have the vertical development seen in cumulonimbus clouds.

What the name of clouds?
Clouds are formations of water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere. They are named based on their appearance and altitude, with common types including cirrus, cumulus, and stratus clouds.
What are tall dense clouds?
Tall dense clouds are called cumulonimbus clouds. They are associated with thunderstorms and can bring heavy rainfall, lightning, hail, and strong winds. Cumulonimbus clouds can extend high into the atmosphere, often reaching the troposphere and sometimes even the stratosphere.
Do all stratus clouds bring rain and thunderstorms?
No, not all stratus clouds bring rain and thunderstorms. Stratus clouds are generally associated with overcast or cloudy weather, but they do not necessarily produce precipitation or thunderstorms. Rain and thunderstorms are more commonly associated with cumulonimbus clouds.
What are the weather effects for stratus cumulus cirrus and cumulonimbus?
Cumulonimbus=thunderstorm or other intense weather Cumulus=fair weather Stratus=low drizzle or snow Cirrus=thunderstorm,hurricane,other storm probably spelled wrong

What are cirrus status and cumulus clouds?
I'm guessing that you meant to type "stratus". Stratus clouds are the lowest forming cloud in the atmosphere (even fog is a type of stratus). They can produce light precipitation. Also those little "pieces" of cloud that you see sometimes are a type of stratus known as stratus fractus. Cumulus form mid-troposphere. And the cumulus family consists of cumulus humilis, mediocris, and congestus. Cumulonimbus are in the cumulus family and consist of such formations as cumulonimbus calvus, cumulonimbus with pileus, cumulonimbus capillitus, and cumulonimbus incus. Cirrus clouds are those "thin and wispy" looking clouds way up in the troposphere. They are the highest cloud formation.
What are some types of clouds?
There are lots of clouds; cirrus, cumulus, cirrocumulus, cumulonimbus, stratus, nimbostratus, altocumulus, altostatus, and fog.
Is the alto cloud higher than the stratocumulus cloud?
Yes. Alto clouds form the medium altitude group, but stratus clouds are at low altitudes.
