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.
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.
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.
Cumulonimbus=thunderstorm or other intense weather Cumulus=fair weather Stratus=low drizzle or snow Cirrus=thunderstorm,hurricane,other storm probably spelled wrong
Cumulonimbus clouds are storm 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.
There are lots of clouds; cirrus, cumulus, cirrocumulus, cumulonimbus, stratus, nimbostratus, altocumulus, altostatus, and fog.
Yes. Alto clouds form the medium altitude group, but stratus clouds are at low altitudes.
