Here’s the key difference between stratocumulus and altocumulus clouds:


---

Stratocumulus Clouds

Altitude: Low-level clouds, usually below 2,000 meters (6,500 feet).

Appearance: Large, rounded masses or rolls, often forming a continuous or broken layer that covers much of the sky.

Color: Usually gray or white with darker shading.

Weather: Generally indicate stable weather, but can bring light rain or drizzle occasionally.

Texture: Coarser, larger cloud elements compared to altocumulus.

Altocumulus Clouds

Altitude: Mid-level clouds, typically between 2,000 to 6,000 meters (6,500 to 20,000 feet).

Appearance: Smaller, white or gray patches or rolls, often in groups or waves, with more defined edges.

Color: Usually white or light gray.

Weather: Can indicate changing weather—sometimes a sign of an approaching storm or cold front.

Texture: Finer, more delicate cloudlets compared to stratocumulus.
