Answer 2

Answer 1: C. Stratus

Stratus is the type of cloud which covers whole sky. These clouds are thin and appear in form of white sheets. As they are very thin they cannot produce much rain and snow.

Answer 2: B. Nimbus

Nimbus are dark, gray clouds. They are thick and often blot the sunlight. They are responsible for causing rains.

Answer 3: C. At lower altitudes
