Clouds whose bases are in the low level etage, ground level to 6,500 feet (2,000 meters), are usually of the nimbostratus, stratocumulus, stratus, cumulus and cumulonimbus type. Sometimes, the last two are separately grouped as convective clouds of great vertical extent.

What is the connection between the states of matter and clouds?

Clouds are composed of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air, representing the liquid and solid states of matter. The water vapor in the air condenses into liquid droplets or freezes into ice crystals when the air cools and reaches saturation. This process results in the formation of clouds, which essentially demonstrate the transitions between the different states of matter in the atmosphere.


What is a cloud amount?

Cloud amount refers to the extent of sky cover by clouds, typically expressed as a fraction or percentage. It describes the portion of the sky that is covered by clouds at a specific location and time, with values ranging from 0 (clear sky) to 1 (completely overcast). Meteorologists use cloud amount as a parameter to describe and forecast weather conditions.


True or False A rain shadow is the side of the mountain that has clouds or rain?

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.
