What is precipitation fog? - Answer- When warm rain falls from slightly higher clouds
through cooler cloud-free air below, some water evaporates from the raindrops as they
fall. But this causes too much humidity in the colder air, forcing some of the water vapor
to re-condense back into tiny cloud droplets, making the fractus cloud. If this cloud
touches the ground, it would be called precipitation fog

rain/snow

cirrocumulus (Cc)
o Middle: altostratus (As) and altocumulus (Ac)
o Low: strstus (st) and nimbostratus (Ns)
