MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -The two main types of low clouds include stratus, which develop horizontally, and cumulus, which develop vertically. Stratus clouds are uniform and flat, producing a gray layer of cloud cover which may be precipitation-free or may cause periods of light precipitation or drizzle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stratus clouds are low-level layers with a fairly uniform grey or white colour. Often the scene of dull, overcast days in its ‘nebulosus’ form, they can persist for long periods of time. They are the lowest-lying cloud type and sometimes appear at the surface in the form of mist or fog.

Detailed explanation-3: -Low-level clouds (cumulus, stratus, stratocumulus) that lie below 6, 500 feet (1, 981 m) Middle clouds (altocumulus, nimbostratus, altostratus) that form between 6, 500 and 20, 000 feet (1981–6, 096 m) High-level clouds (cirrus, cirrocumulus, cirrostratus) that form above 20, 000 feet (6, 096 m)

Detailed explanation-4: -Clouds that are low are known as stratus clouds. Depending on the temperature outside, stratus clouds usually are accompanied by rain if its warm or snow if its cold. If stratus cloud is low to the ground, it becomes fog.

Detailed explanation-5: -These clouds are of high altitude (20, 000-40, 000 ft or 6000-12, 000 m). A stratus cloud presenting a ragged, shredded appearance, as if torn. It differs from a fractocumulus cloud in having a smaller vertical extent and darker color.
