Cumulus clouds are puffy. If the humidity is high, a cumulus cloud's low point may be about 3,00 feet (900 m). However, cumulus clouds in dry regions such as deserts sometimes have bases as high as 10,000 feet (3,000m). This is still low compared to some clouds.

You see a blanket of gray clouds in the sky You can hardly tell where on cloud leaves off and another begins are they nimbus clouds stratus clouds or cumulus clouds?

The blanket of gray clouds you see is likely stratus clouds. Stratus clouds are low-level clouds that cover the sky like a blanket and often bring overcast conditions with possible light drizzle or snow. Nimbus clouds are associated with precipitation, while cumulus clouds are puffy and usually indicate fair weather.


How high are cirrus clouds off the ground?

Cirrus are the highest cloud types, generally occurring between 25 and 30 thousand feet up.


What type of clouds appear to be piled up from low to high altitudes?

Noctilucent clouds are the highest clouds in Earth's atmosphere, located in the mesosphere at altitudes of around 76 to 85 kilometres (47 to 53 mi). They are normally too faint to be seen, and are visible only when illuminated by sunlight from below the horizon while the lower layers of the atmosphere are in the Earth's shadow.


How high off the ground are clouds?

The main cloud that makes snow is the Cumulonimbus cloud. The bases of these clouds are low, about 2000ft from the ground. This cloud however, is very tall, the top can reach 20,000 to 60,000ft. Cumulonimbus are not the only cloud capable of making snow, Nimbostratus and Cumulus clouds can also produce snow, all of their bases are relatively low. Cumulonimbus clouds do not always make snow though, the main weather that they bring are thunderstorms.


What way could the clouds in the sky look like paper?

Clouds in the sky can look like paper if they are thin and wispy, with a flat and uniform appearance. This can happen when the clouds are high in the atmosphere and are formed by ice crystals. The paper-like texture may also be enhanced by the angle of the sunlight reflecting off the clouds.

Are thunderstorms formed in cumulus clouds?

Thunderstorms are associated with cumulonimbus clouds. However, cumulonimbus clouds do start off as cumulus.


Do cumulus clouds form into cumulonimbus clouds?

Yes, cumulus clouds can develop into cumulonimbus clouds through a process called cloud growth. Cumulonimbus clouds are larger and taller versions of cumulus clouds that can bring thunderstorms and severe weather.

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.

What clouds are responsible for thunderstorms and how can you identify what cloud it is?

Cumulonimbus. Thunderstorm clouds are typically very thick and therefore have a high albedo (not very much sunlight penetrates through to the ground, most gets reflected off of the top). Therefore, these clouds appear grey and dark on the bottom.
