What are cirrus status and cumulus clouds?
I'm guessing that you meant to type "stratus". Stratus clouds are the lowest forming cloud in the atmosphere (even fog is a type of stratus). They can produce light precipitation. Also those little "pieces" of cloud that you see sometimes are a type of stratus known as stratus fractus. Cumulus form mid-troposphere. And the cumulus family consists of cumulus humilis, mediocris, and congestus. Cumulonimbus are in the cumulus family and consist of such formations as cumulonimbus calvus, cumulonimbus with pileus, cumulonimbus capillitus, and cumulonimbus incus. Cirrus clouds are those "thin and wispy" looking clouds way up in the troposphere. They are the highest cloud formation.
What is one difference between cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds?
Altocumulus (Alto, "high", cumulus, "heaped") is a cloud belonging to a class characterized by globular masses or rolls in layers or patches, the individual elements being larger and darker than those of cirrocumulus and smaller than those of stratocumulus. Like other cumulus clouds, altocumulus signifies convection. It is usually white or gray, and often occurs in sheets or patches with wavy, rounded masses or rolls. Altocumulus often are seen preceding a cold front, and their presence on a warm, humid, summer morning frequently signals the development of thunderstorms later in the day. Alto means high and these clouds may cause rain if they are higher up. One form of altocumulus, altocumulus lenticularis (Lenticular cloud) is frequently reported as "Unidentified flying objects".The altocumulus approach can sometimes be frightening, for the cloud has a dark and scary appearance. Altocumulus clouds are found at an altitude of between 2,000 and 6,000 metres and are made up entirely of water droplets. Sometimes they form parallel bands, as here, and sometimes rounded masses. They often form in front of a cold front as unstable air is lifted. this is alto cumulus clouds in a clear mackerel pattern Altocumulus cloud formation A stratocumulus cloud belongs to a class characterized by large dark, rounded masses, usually in groups, lines, or waves, the individual elements being larger than those in altocumuli, and the whole being at a lower altitude, usually below 2,400 m (8,000 ft). Weak convective currents create shallow cloud layers because of drier, stable air above preventing continued vertical development. Vast areas of subtropical and polar oceans are covered with massive sheets of stratocumuli. These may organize in to distinctive patterns which are currently under active study. In subtropics, they cover the edges of the horse latitude climatological highs, and reduce the amount of solar energy absorbed in the ocean. When these drift over land the summer heat or winter cold is reduced. 'Dull weather' is a common expression incorporated with overcast stratocumulus days. If the air over land is moist and hot enough they may develop to various cumulus clouds, or, more commonly, the sheets of thick stratocumuli may have a nimbostratus look on them. The distinction here is the amount of rain produced. On drier areas they quickly dissipate over land, resembling cumulus humilis. Generally, stratocumuli bring only light rain or snow. However, these clouds are often seen at either the front or tail end of worse weather, so may indicate storms to come, in the form of thunderheads or gusty winds. These are same in appearance to altocumuli and are often mistaken for such. A simple test to distinguish these is to compare the size of individual masses or rolls: when pointing your hand in the direction of the cloud, if the cloud is about the size of your thumb, it is altocumulus; if it is the size of your entire hand, it is stratocumulus.

What region on the earth near the equator receives the most solar energy?
The Atacama desert is on the equator and is above most clouds rain forests and jungles receive little sunlight mountains have few clouds moisture and pollution obscure sunlight
How high does a tornado go?
Tornadoes can reach heights of several thousand feet into the atmosphere, with the strongest tornadoes reaching up to 50,000 feet or more. The height a tornado reaches depends on various factors including its intensity, size, and updraft strength.
What type of weather occurs in order for a thunderstorm to form?
there will be little water molecules in the cloud and they will bounce around in the cloud until they coalesce into droplets as rain and when there is thunder the clouds will bust open to let what ever weather is going to do out that is what makes the thunder and crashing sound
How do stratuscumulusand cumulonimbus clouds differ from each other?
Stratuscumulus clouds are low, layered clouds that often appear as a uniform gray or white blanket, typically indicating stable weather with little precipitation. In contrast, cumulonimbus clouds are towering, vertically developed clouds associated with severe weather, including thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. While stratuscumulus clouds generally signify calm conditions, cumulonimbus clouds indicate dynamic atmospheric activity and potential for severe storms. Their differences in structure and associated weather phenomena highlight the varying roles they play in the atmosphere.

What kind of weather do a cumuls bring?
cumulus clouds can bring good or bad weather. if there is alot of convection, the cloud will grow taller and develope into cumulus congestus then to cumulonimbus. this brings thunderstorms. however, sometimes the air is very stable so cumulus clouds flatten to cumulus humilis and stay the "fair weather cumulus" clouds everyone loves
Why is there so little sunlight in the story of searching for summer?
In "Searching for Summer" by Joan Aiken, there is little sunlight because the story is set in a dystopian world where the sun is obscured by layers of pollution and clouds. The lack of sunlight contributes to the bleak and desolate atmosphere of the story, highlighting the theme of environmental degradation.
When was Little Fluffy Clouds created?
Little Fluffy Clouds was created in 1990.
How do clouds create storms?
Clouds can create storms when warm, moist air rises and cools, forming clouds that can grow into thunderstorms. As the warm air rises, it condenses into water droplets or ice crystals, releasing heat energy that fuels the storm. These processes lead to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds, which can produce heavy rain, thunder, lightning, and sometimes severe weather.
What color is Venus' from outer space?
Venus appears predominantly white or yellowish from outer space due to its thick clouds of sulfuric acid. These clouds reflect sunlight, giving Venus its bright appearance.
What is the name of clouds that develop into little turrets that resemble little castles in the sky?
The clouds that develop into turrets resembling little castles in the sky are called cumulus clouds. These clouds are fluffy and often have a distinctive tower-like appearance due to their vertical growth.
At what temperature does cumulonimbus clouds form?
It depends on the temperature of the air around the cloud. A cumulus cloud is formed by warm air rising into a layer of cooler air, so the base of the cloud will be warmer and the air will get colder toward the top of the cloud. If water vapor condenses out of the air as it rises in the cloud, this will warm up the air in the middle of the cloud.
Are the clouds covering Uranus are a greenish color?
Yes, the clouds in Uranus's atmosphere are predominantly composed of methane, which can give them a greenish tint. However, other factors like sunlight and atmospheric composition can also influence the color and appearance of the clouds on Uranus.
Why is it always cloudy in the valley?
because that is where the clouds go at night and some clouds stay there a little longer.
How do you make clouds in little alchemy?
air + steam
