These are all types of clouds. Stratus clouds form layers or smooth, even sheets in the sky. Cumulus clouds are masses of puffy, white clouds, often with flat bases. Some prefixes of cloud names describe the height of the cloud base. The prefixaltodescribes middle-elevation clouds. Clouds associated with rain or snow often have the the word nimbus attached to them. So, altostratus clouds are clouds that form layers, or smooth, even sheets in the sky at middle-elevation, altocumulus clouds are masses of puffy, white clouds, often with flat bases at middle-elevation, and nimbostratus clouds are clouds that form smooth, even sheets in the sky and are associated with rain or snow.
An altocumulus cloud is a mid-level cloud that appears as a layer of white or gray, rounded masses or patches usually with a rippled appearance. They often indicate unsettled weather and can precede thunderstorms.
Altocumulus clouds are classified as middle clouds, typically found between 6,500 to 20,000 feet above sea level. These clouds are made up of small water droplets and are often associated with fair weather or the approach of a warm front.
It is a low-level cloud type.
stratocumulus and a High level cloud is a cirrostratus
No, altostratus clouds are middle-level clouds that typically form between 6,500 and 20,000 feet in the atmosphere. Low-level clouds include stratus, stratocumulus, and cumulus clouds that form below 6,500 feet.
High cloud, middle cloud, low cloud, and anvil heat.
Cirrus clouds are thin wispy clouds. They are over 6 kilometers up. It is freezing up there, so they are made of ice crystals. They can mean bad weather is on the way.
Noctilucent clouds are the highest and least understood. Cirrus and cirrostratus are the high-type clouds. Any high cloud will have the prefix "cirr".
The medium-level cloud in the sky is called an altocumulus cloud. Altocumulus clouds are typically seen between 6,500 and 20,000 feet above ground level and appear as white or gray patches or layers in the sky. They are composed of water droplets and can sometimes indicate changes in the weather.
1. Cumulus - Clouds with vertical development2. Cirrus - High Clouds3. Altostratus - Middle Clouds4. Stratus -Low Clouds
Unlikely, since by definition strutus is a low cloud type while Ac is a middle-level cloud type.
An alto cloud is a mid-level cloud that typically forms between 6,500 to 20,000 feet in the atmosphere. These clouds often appear as a layer of gray or blue-gray cloud patches or sheets. Alto clouds can consist of a mixture of water droplets and ice crystals.
These are all types of clouds. Stratus clouds form layers or smooth, even sheets in the sky. Cumulus clouds are masses of puffy, white clouds, often with flat bases. Some prefixes of cloud names describe the height of the cloud base. The prefixaltodescribes middle-elevation clouds. Clouds associated with rain or snow often have the the word nimbus attached to them. So, altostratus clouds are clouds that form layers, or smooth, even sheets in the sky at middle-elevation, altocumulus clouds are masses of puffy, white clouds, often with flat bases at middle-elevation, and nimbostratus clouds are clouds that form smooth, even sheets in the sky and are associated with rain or snow.
All clouds are diffiened into four layers as follows- low level clouds-stratus, stratocumulus,nimbostratus and fog(really low stratus) medium level clouds-altocumulus,altostratus high level clouds-cirrocumulus,cirrostratus and cirrus. many level clouds- these are usually convective clouds like cumulonimbuses. stratocumulus for A+
An altocumulus cloud is a mid-level cloud that appears as a layer of white or gray, rounded masses or patches usually with a rippled appearance. They often indicate unsettled weather and can precede thunderstorms.
Ground level clouds are usually called fog
