high thin clouds mean good weather now, but bad weather in the next 48 hours.
Unlikely, since by definition strutus is a low cloud type while Ac is a middle-level cloud type.
False. The majority of weather occurs in the troposphere.
Earth's weather primarily occurs in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where most of the weather phenomena such as clouds, rain, and storms take place. The thermosphere is a layer higher up in the atmosphere where temperatures increase with altitude due to interaction with solar radiation.
True. Clouds are classified based on their form (cirrus, stratus, and cumulus) and height (high, mid, and low-level clouds). This system helps meteorologists identify and describe different types of clouds and aids in weather forecasting.

True. Lightning is caused by electrical discharge within clouds due to the buildup of static electricity.

Clouds are mainly classified by their shape and altitude as determined by the International Cloud Atlas. The primary cloud types include cirrus, cumulus, stratus, and nimbus, with variations based on these characteristics. Clouds can appear to have different colors due to the way they interact with sunlight, and density can give an indication of the cloud's weather potential.
False. Steam fog or clouds are made of water vapor in the gas state condensed into tiny droplets, not in the liquid state.
False. A rain shadow is the dry area on the leeward side of a mountain caused by the blocking of moisture-laden air by the mountain, leading to little or no precipitation. The side of the mountain with clouds and rain is the windward side.
True. Weather maps are used by scientists to analyze atmospheric conditions and make predictions about weather patterns. By studying factors such as temperature, pressure, and wind patterns on these maps, scientists can better understand and forecast changes in weather.
