They look like a huge gray blanket that hangs low in the sky. Sometimes stratus clouds are on the ground or very near the ground, and then we call them fog.

Do Stratus clouds produce the most rain?
No, stratus clouds only produce relatively light rain. Cumulonimbus produce the heaviest rain (thunderstorms).
What type of weather is associated with stratus clouds?
clear sky which mean not any types of precipitation
Do stratus clouds produce rain?
Some stratus clouds can definitely produce rain. Low, thick clouds called nimbostratus clouds in particular release rain, and they release the majority of the world's precipitation.
Can stratus clouds produce thunderstorms?
No. Thunderstorms form from cumulonimbus,bus clouds, which in turn form from cumulus clouds. Status clouds are not convective. Thunderstorms need convection to form.
Clouds that form in a blanket like layers are?

How do cumulus clouds and stratus clouds produce rain?
touch each other
Do stratus clouds bring bad weather?
Not necessarily. The word stratus means layered. If the stratus clouds are low enough they can result in ground fog. Stratus clouds can also produce a light, but steady rain or snow.
What layer of the atmosphere are alto-stratus clouds in?
Alto-stratus clouds are grey to bluish-gray that can produce light precipitation. Like nearly all clouds, they occur in the troposphere.
