Cumulus and stratus clouds belong to the low-level cloud group, which forms from the ground up to about 2,000 meters. Cumulus clouds are fluffy and indicate fair weather, while stratus clouds are flat and can cover the sky, sometimes producing drizzle. Understanding these cloud types helps in predicting weather conditions.
