Q

Which is a low, uniform layer of cloud resembling fog, but not resting on the ground?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic cloud types and how they look (flat vs puffy vs wispy) • Difference between fog and low clouds • Meaning of the terms stratus, cumulus, nimbus, and cirrus in cloud naming

💭 Think About

• Which cloud type is typically described as forming in a flat, uniform layer that can cover the whole sky? • Which of these cloud types most closely resembles fog if it were just lifted slightly off the ground? • Which names describe shape (layer vs heap vs hair-like) rather than whether the cloud is rainy?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the description "low, uniform layer" to the correct cloud family • Eliminate any cloud types that are tall, puffy, or wispy/feathery rather than flat sheets • Remember that nimbus refers to rain-producing clouds**, not mainly their shape or height
