Actually I usually crowd the puddle when welding vertical up. The longer the arc length the more the arc can wander.
The ideal length of arc in welding typically ranges from 1/16 to 1/8 inch, depending on the welding process and material being used. A shorter arc length tends to produce a more concentrated heat, leading to deeper penetration, while a longer arc can create a wider bead but may result in a lack of penetration. Maintaining the proper arc length is crucial for achieving optimal weld quality and preventing defects. Adjustments may be necessary based on factors like electrode type and position.
A rule of thumb is - the arc length should be the same as the diameter of the electrode. 3/32" electrode = 3/32" arc length. 1/8" electrode = 1/8" arc length etc. The thicker the electrode coating the shorter the distance from the end of the electrode to the work. Drag rods are contact rods. E-7024 is one.

Arc length is the distance from the tip of the electrode to the workpiece.
If you are asking for the correct nomenclature it is Shielded Metal Arc Welding.

Correct electrode size Correct current Correct arc length Correct travel speed Correct electrode angle 💯

By observing the four basics. Correct/consistent travel speed. Correct amperage setting. Correct/consistent arc length. Correct electrode angle.
Using the correct procedures and filler material they can both have the same strength. P.S. both are considered "arc welding"
Arc length is the maximum length between the tip of an electrode and the work, measured along the tangents.

The 'arc' in arc welding is not an acronym but in turn is a reference to the electric arc that is being generated during the welding process.
Depend upon dia of electrode & Arc length between Electrode tip and job surface.
