Clouds form over mountains when moist air is forced upwards by the terrain. As the air rises, it cools and reaches its dew point, causing water vapor to condense and form clouds. The higher elevation of the mountains also contributes to the cooler temperatures required for cloud formation.
Yes, mountains can be taller than clouds. Mountains can exceed tens of thousands of feet in elevation, while clouds typically form much lower in the atmosphere. However, certain types of clouds, like cumulonimbus clouds, can reach heights that are comparable to or even taller than some mountains.
Clouds form over mountains when moist air is forced to rise due to air flow patterns and the topography of the mountain. As the air rises, it cools, causing the moisture it contains to condense into water droplets, forming clouds. This process is known as orographic lifting.

Lenticular clouds generally form in mountainous regions. In these areas, there can be pockets of low pressure in the sky. When air encounters these low-pressure regions, it expands. If the air cools enough, it will condense to form lenticular clouds. The name "lenticular" actually means lens-shaped, because these clouds usually form an oval.
yes, some clouds cover the rocky mountains because they are so tall. clouds usually cover the tops of mountains.
Blahh :p
Because the Earth has different atmospheres and clouds are in an atmosphere that is much higher up than ground level. Some mountains are in the same atmosphere as the clouds so clouds form around them.
When the clouds go over mountains

As air blows toward mountains, it is forced to rise and warm.
Clouds
They form on the under side of mountains.
