Question

Answer 1

When warm, moist air is mixed with drier, cooler air and the mixture is moving beneath warmer, lighter air above, clouds will often form as rolls or waves. Sometimes, especially in summer, there are gaps through which the Sun can shine. This cloud is called stratocumulus, meaning sheets of lumpy cloud. Stratocumulus is grey, white, or a mixture of both, usually with some darker patches. It is a low-level cloud that can look threatening, but unless it is very thick usually only drizzle or light precipitation fall from it. It can also form in air forced to rise over hills. Its base is typically at 1,000-7,000 ft (300-2,000 m). Although stratocumulus is not usually a badweather cloud, its presence may indicate that worse weather is on its way, or is just clearing.

Answer 2

1. Clouds are weather phenomena. They exist inside the earth's atmosphere, and are thus unrelated to astonomy and space. Therefore, this question belongs in the "weather" section, rather than in the "astronomy and space" section.

2. The purpose of your education is not to teach you facts, but to teach you how to find information you need. It's your homework assignment, not ours. I did a search on "stratocumlus clouds" and got a million hits, and the question "do you mean 'stratocumulus clouds'," which is the correct spelling.

So I clicked on that and got twice as many hits. If you get in the habit of looking for information for yourself, you will make better grades, do better in school, and have lots of fun. Also, eventually, you will qualify for a career and be able to make a contribution to the world.

So the bottom line is: do your own homework and learn how to find your own information. You'll be glad you did.

Answer 3

They form long "streets". They aren't associated with rain. You get them at altitudes between about 2000 and 12000 feet. Like other low and medium level cloud the act like a blanket at night to keep the ground warm, and they shade the ground in the daytime to keep temperatures low.

Answer 4

That's because you have the wrong spelling. It's spelled ....cumulus, not ....cumlus.

Try searching for other cloud words: cumulo nimbus cirrus.

Good luck.
