A nimbus cloud is a cloud that produces precipitation.
Nimbus clouds produce rain.
nimbus clouds
Cirrus are high altitude clouds. Cumulo nimbus (anvil shaped clouds) indicate the possibility of rain.
Typically clouds that produce precipitation will have either the Nimbo- prefix or -nimbus suffix. Clouds that produce precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail...etc) will normally appear lower in the sky such as the Nimbostratus & Cumulonimbus. There are different variations of these clouds with variations of the above names. Double-click on the terms "Nimbostratus" or "Cumulonimbus" to get the definition from AnswerTips!
Miscellaneous clouds are clouds that are not normally well-known by name. The general types of clouds most familiar to people are cumulus, stratus, cirrus, and nimbus clouds. Some types of miscellaneous clouds include mammatus clouds, noctilucent clouds, and nacreous clouds.
No, stratus clouds only produce relatively light rain. Cumulonimbus produce the heaviest rain (thunderstorms).
